[WriteLog] Writelog and DXP38 problem solved

[Dean Wood]

Hello,

Thanks very much to AA5AU, W0YK, N1NB, K0COP, AK0A, and W8XC for their 
help.  The solution was to edit the writelog.ini file, delete all the 
lines in the [Rttyrite] section, and make sure the COM2:=9600,n,8,1, 
statement was in the [Ports] section.  Don AA5AU, you da man.

I look forward to hearing all of you in the NAQP RTTY contest from W6YX!

>The problem just seems to be a RTTY DXP38 initialization problem of some

>What I've tried: I've use Hal's DXPWin software to verify that the 
>DXP38, serial port, serial cable, and FSK/audio cables are working fine, 
>both in the TX and RX direction.  I also verified that MMTTY works fine 
>within Writelog on the same computer.

>Configuration:
>Writelog v10.45M
>Hal DXP38 with firmware .LOD v1.2; .S28 v2.0; Bootrom v2.0
>Statement in writelog.ini file under [Rttyrite] section: HAL_DL_DIR=C:\DXP38
>DXP38.LOD and DXP38.S28 files are in the c:\dxp38 directory.
>Windows98SE operating system

>This particular DXP38 has been used in many past RTTY contests 
>successfully with past versions of Writelog.  The difference is that 
>this is a different computer which we've never tried to run a DXP38 on 
>it before.  What am I missing here?  Is there some writelog.ini setting 
>I'm forgetting?
