[WriteLog] re: Writelog/Icom Interface

[Roger Parsons]

Sorry guys. I'm obviously not making myself clear!

I agree that using one or more radios linked to Writelog is really easy. 
Just get the right rig address and interface parameters and everything works 
perfectly first time.

But that's not what I'm trying to do. The CI-V command structure is:
$FE $FE to-adr fm-adr Cmd(s) $FD. In the case of Writelog the to-adr is the 
rig address. Writelog tells the rig to do something and the rig then replies 
using the same format.

I am busily building a remote controlled transmitter linked by simplex UHF 
radio to the home shack. Because there are significant delays involved with 
simplex transmission I cannot just tie the remote radio to Writelog, but 
need a micro-controller at each end of the link. So Writelog will talk to 
the micro and think it's a radio. The micro then relays the information to 
the remote radio, etc. So I need to know the address that Writelog uses for 
itself. I also use 'Logger' for day to day DXing, and that has a base 
address of E0. It would be nice if I could make Writelog use the same 
address, but it would be quite acceptable if I just know what address to 
use.

Thanks again!
