[WriteLog] Writelog-CT17-Radios

[Richard Zalewski]

I would like to renew this thread to see if we can come up with a
solution.  Again it was a frustrating weekend having to click twice,
three, four times or more to get a spot to move to the entry window. 
Sometimes the spot would move to the entry window but the entry window
would not be the active area so it would take another click or two.

One thing that seemed to help a little (I emphasize little) was 
changing the comm ptt to NO on the radio.

I am able to use DX Labs suite of programs and select band spots
without any problem so I do not think it is a radio or computer
problem.  It may be a set up problem of some sort but it sure is
annoying.

One last clue and this has existed for some time.  After transmitting
about 90% of the time there is a "No Rig" displayed for a brief moment
and then the correct frequency is displayed.  This has been going on
for many revisions.

I have to believe there is some sort of polling problem and sure could
use some help on this.

Thanks to all.
