[WriteLog] Re: PTT timing

[Jerry Pixton]

Al,

Interesting. What serial number is your Yaesu FT1000mp. Most of the 
responses that I got from Yaesu FT1000mp owners when I worried this problem 
several years ago was that their and my FT1000mp forgets that it has been 
commanded to transmit via the  CAT comm port after it starts to key CW. I 
had to actually look at the comm channel to assure myself that Writelog was 
properly commanding PTT on and PTT off at the end of the message. I had to 
wire a seperate PTT signal to the the PTT jack to get rid of that problem. 
I would guess that you must have a newer firmware version in your FT1000mp 
than mine. It's serial number is 8G300088.
