[WriteLog] Unpowered Serial Adapters

[Robert B. Bonner]

Guys,

 

I have been experimenting with several different serial rig control
adapters, my collection of radios and my collection of logging software.

 

Here’s where I’m at and what I’ve found.

 

On my CI-V interface (which is self powered) the unit comes right up and
works with Writelog, DXBase, CT, IRC and just about any other rig control
programs.

 

However, when using the inexpensive DTR powered interfaces only programs
with a selection in the software to hold the DTR high and thusly power the
interface work with these units.

 

DXBase has a selection for this,  IRC of course does
.  But if this “can
happen” with Writelog, I have yet to figure it out in a few hours of
looking.  Does anybody know a configuration “INI” parameter or whatever it
takes to tell this port to wake up and keep the box powered?

 

Thanks ahead of time


 

Sincerely,

 

Bob KØDD
