[WriteLog] Com Ports 5-7

[WA9ALS - John]

> Hello,
>      Why are ports 5-7 available for rotor control but not for rig control
or cw?  I am presently using a Comtrol USB/Serial Hub to add these ports.
Are there plans to add them or am I missing something.  Thanks.

You are missing something.  The HELP file spells out how to get whatever
ports you want listed as available for CW and Rig control etc:  The key part
is below:

There are 4 "slots" available for WriteLog rig interfacing. By default,
CommSlot1 is COM1:, but you can change that by changing the number on the
right of the equal sign.

CommSlot1=1
CommSlot2=2

In this example, the third and fourth slots are on COM7 and COM8. COM15 is
as high as is supported.
CommSlot3=7
CommSlot4=8

Mine looks like this:

[Ports]
COM1:=9600,n,8,1
COM2:=9600,n,8,1
COM3:=9600,n,8,1
COM4:=9600,n,8,1
CommSlot1=1
CommSlot2=4
CommSlot3=5
CommSlot4=6

Thus my Setup Ports window offers COM 1,4,5,6 for rig control.

Hope this helps!  73 - John, WA9ALS
