[WriteLog] SS Serial Numbers

[Michael Joens]

I originally reported this problem.I'm using version 10.21K (I thought I 
included that). A friend at work who just bought WL after I raved about it 
had the same problem with serial numbers. He was not using packet or the 
S&P memories. Don't know the exact circumstances that made the problem 
appear either here on in his setup. My friend is using the 10.20 that he 
received last week and did not have time to upgrade to 10.21. Hence, the 
problem seems to be at least in these two versions.

Hope that helps.

By the way, the issue was not insurmountable once I noticed it. I just paid 
attention to the QSO field after that. There was no going back to the old 
QSO's. Only a few errors are obvious, but there is a series of about 100+ 
QSO's that are off by one number.

I'll be at the league on Wednesday, so I'll ask how to best handle this 
problem. I had over 900 Q's and a clean sweep, so I will definitely submit 
the log. I'll post the answer when I return from vacation next week.

73,
Michael


P.S.: I'm not trying to complain here. The intent is to help improve an 
impressive piece of ham software. After I showed WriteLog to my friend he 
HAD TO HAVE IT. He installed it and everyting worked right away, including 
rig control which he set up just minutes before the contest.

Are the people reporting this using the most recent upgrade (10.21K) or a 
prior
version??  I think including the version number would help Wayne in 
locating the
problem.
