Sorry folks, I just read the fine print on reflector protocol and realized I
forgot to include my e-mail address in my signature.  Since the headers get
stripped nobody could respond directly do here it is again.
Tnx,

Subject: Packet Gibberish


I am new to Writelog and have been frustrated with my attempts to get the
packet terminal working properly.

I get gibbersish on the screen, not clear text.  Two nights ago it worked
fine after I revised the ini file but not before and not since.
It works fine with TRX Manager's Terminal so I think the wiring, settings,
etc should be OK.

My configuration is:
Windows XP Home SP1
Writelog 1038.D
PK232MBX on Com 1
FT1000D on Com 2

A portion of my ini file follows:
[Ports]
COM1:=1200,n,8,1,
COM2:=9600,n,8,1
COM3:=9600,n,8,1
COM4:=9600,n,8,1
dvktype=2
dvkport=0
cwtype=1
cwport=3
dvkstoploop=1
dvkechomic=1
Comm2Used=CW,POLL,17
Comm2RigManager={D0DE9422-0517-11D4-9D1B-00105AA43DDF}
Comm2XmitControl=ALWAYS
CWPTTCONTROL=1
CWPTTDELAY=0
>
>
[PACKET]
X=16
Y=33
W=595
H=216
PORT=1
SingleOp=0
Node=Charlie

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One more question, the one night it did work I had to type C k3gys in the
packet callout window to connect.  Is there not a connect window or dropdown
somewhere.

Thanks es 73,
Charlie
