[WriteLog] FT-920 Help

[WI8W]

Jon,

Thanks for the tip.  Funny thing though, Pushing that button, Writelog
wanted to see the rig on Com2 instead of Com1. I do not ever remember
setting it up on Com2 before.  Oh well, a malfunction of the biological
interface is indicated here.  Now it is working like a champ.

I wonder if with all the problems we seem to have on this list, if it would
be a good idea to compile all the questions we have and combine them with
all the answers provided by the users on a web page somewhere.  Sort of a
FAQ on configuring Writelog.  Difficult project?  Probably,  and one I would
love to see but personally do not have any time to mess with.

Thanks again for the tip
