[WriteLog] Query

[Jerry Pixton]

Dave,

Look in Writelog help files under "rig interfacing" and "cw interfacing" 
You will want both the rts and the dtr lines as the FT1000mp seems to have 
a bug where it ignores the ptt command sent via the CAT interface when in 
CW mode. This can be the same comm port as used for CAT control and writelog
