well, I did NOT have fun this past week end in the ARRL RU test. Ended 
up with 25 contacts.... spent most of both days trying to get anything 
to print out. So here is the set up: ft5000, microHam keyer 2, 
writelog/xmmt/mmtty, WIN 10... this set up has worked great with my 
2000D. Here is the weird part: using same rig with DX4WIN/mmtty, no 
problem printing; mmtty stand alone, no problem printing, Gritty no 
problem printing. I ran gritty window along side writelog and gritty 
would print close to 100%; writelog much of nothing. I tried every 
adjustment to software and rig that I could think of. All is set as per 
aa5au/microHam set files. Nothing I tried improved the situation. Only 
two variables that I could think that changed were all of my antennas 
were covered in ice and I up-graded writelog to 12.12C version 3 days 
before the test( bad idea, I know). I just could not figure what had 
this applecart so upset. So I am in the dark here and would sure 
appreciate any idea/advice on what/where to look. It seems to me that 
the commen denominator is 12.12C. HELP!!!! thanks, 73's Cort K4WI
