[WriteLog] help

[Jim Rhodes]

Read the help file on rig interfacing for CW. You will need an interface 
(transistor or optoisolator) to key the PTT & the key line. Writelog can 
key the PTT via a control port if the rig has one and supports this, or it 
can use such an interface to key most any rig. Mine is built right into a 
db25 connector. And the audio can come right off of the patch output. You 
will probably want to use a 1:1 isolation transformer. A similar interface 
works great on RTTY too.
