The problem has been around for a long time and I believe it is not a WriteLog
problem.  The same problem occurs with Logic 5 for Windows and my 775.  I
think the real issue is the Icom interface and how it does/does not work.
Release 5.3 of Logic finally tracks the icom split but only if you set the
split from software.  Set it at the rig and it will still not track.  Just the
nature of the beast, but otherwise the 775 is a great radio.
