[WriteLog] Missing characters [SOLVED]

[Jeff]

Thanks to everyone for all the helpful suggestions.

I switched my CW interface from the parallel port to a
serial port.  Everything is now working FB.

Well....there is this one thing that, while not a
show-stopper, is bugging me a bit.

I have a mono connection from the line-out pin
on my Icom radio to the line-in on the computer
soundcard.  But in order to use the CW decoder,
I have to configure it as stereo instead of mono
and just close the second window that pops up.
Anyone else experience this?

Thanks,
Jeff, KI0RO
