[WriteLog] Omni V garbled CW

[M. Edward Wilborne III]

When WriteLog polls my Yaesu FT-890 for information, it mutes the radio
completely and so I get no CW at all during that 1/2 to 3/4 second period.

It's strange that WriteLog causes such a "drain" on the radio/CPU or
whatever it's doing.

The free software I have called CI-V Commander (I think that's what it's
called) works perfectly with my radio and show the selected frequency in
real time as I spin the dial.

station.  When Writelog polls the radio for information, the cw gets
garbled.  We are using an external keyer for sending the cw, NOT Writelog.
Knowing that there are lots of cw folks out there with Omni V's, I am hoping
that someone else has seen this problem and has found a solution.
