[WriteLog] Re: Cw SSB Writelog

I am using XP Pro.  CT program keys through the LPT port just fine...  Over 
the past few days I have tried using both the LPT and the Serial (Com) Ports 
with the transistor circuit. I've tried all of the suggestions posted 
without unsatisfactory results...It simply will not key my FT-One. So I am 
left with no alternative than to use the writelog with a hand keyer or the 
Ct keyboard.

On another subject... Yesterday I tried to setup the soundcard to store msgs 
and play them.  I checked the soundcard with the program suggested and it is 
compatable with Writelog except for  disabling the mike when msg are being 
sent.  But Writelog disables the soundcard control completely when it is 
opened even with a SSB contest module.   I am not sure why?

It's becoming frustrating.  Otherwise the logging went well in NAQP CW last 
weekend.  I used the outboard keyer and CT for sending CW.
