Subject: Writelog RTTY


I'm hoping to play in the RTTY contest this weekend, but I still have not
been able to get Writelog to "see" a TNC.  The last three nights I've had
the desktop connected to the TS-950 and PK-232DSP, and the laptop connected
to the TS-2000 and KAM, and I can not get Writelog to see either TNC.  I'm
sure this is something simple, but I've done about all I can do wandering
through the menus, and I can't find anything else to try.  Reluctantly, I'm
going to conclude that for RTTY, all things considered, Writelog is a waste
of time and money and I'm ready to pitch it and find something that works.

The PK-232 works just fine with PK-term and Logic, so it's fine and the
serial port settings are fine.  The KAM works fine with a dumb terminal
program (Hyperterminal) so same there.  The problem is 100 percent with
Writelog.  I have the port settings lines in the INI file for writelog and
the correct COM port setting and TNC type in the RTTYWrite window.  Nothing
doing, times two.  What a waste of time!

See you in the contest--using PK-term and Logic, so a bit slow, but there
anyway!
