[WriteLog] Writelog and DXP38

[Don Hill]

The Auto-CQ feature with a DXP-38 is fixed.  I beta tested the fix this
weekend and it does work.

The Sending of QTC's is definitely broke.  I played around with it during
the contest but could not get it to work no matter what I did to the buffers.

To me, it should work regardless of whether you have the buffers set or
not.  It does on a PK232.

I'm sure Wayne will take care of it before next year's WAE.  But it won't
matter to me, I probably won't participate for my own personal reasons.
Nothing to do with WriteLog.

Also in the newest upgrade yet to come out is a fix to the serial number
problem using multiple radios.  Don't ask me how he fixed it.  I just know I
didn't pay any attention to it and then noticed that all my serial numbers
were correct.  I hope I didn't let the cat out of the bag since the next
upgrade has not been announced yet.  Other than the DXP-38 not able
to send QTC's, WriteLog worked flawlessly in all other areas.
