[WriteLog] newbie RTTY problem

[k0bx@qsl.net]

Hi there maybe a simple solution for this.  Check the following:

See the documentation of that
device 
for information on connecting the PK-232 to your computer.  If
WriteLog will 
not communicate with your PK-232, it may be necessary to do the 
editing described below. 
Using NotePad edit C:\Windows\writelog.ini  as follows: 
In the file, go to the section labeled [Ports]. 
Look at the line for the Com port you intend to use.  It will look
like this: 
COM1:=9600,n,8,1,x 
Check to be sure all parameters are correct, then Delete the final
x (but not 
the comma).  It should look like this: 
COM1:=9600,n,8,1, 
Click on File, Save.  Then open WriteLog; this should allow 
your PK-232 to communicate with WriteLog. 
  
There are other hints and kinks on my webpage

please let me know if this helped.
