[WriteLog] mH Keyer and Writelog Problem

[Blake M.]

I have been battling the same problem with my microkeyer, writelog, and 
1000mp.  Jozef has been terrific in helping me troubleshoot the issue, 
however it seems the problem does not lie in the microkeyer, rather 
Writelog's intolerance of small delays present in the USB virtual ports.

Sometimes doing a "Setup~Ports~OK" routine clears up the NORIG, but most 
of the time a complete reboot is the only thing that fixes mine.  
Mind-knumbing in the middle of a contest....

Don't know if there is anything that can be adjusted in the Writelog 
code to make it more tolerable of delays from the radio, but it appears 
that it's the only fix.

Cross-posted in the interest of keeping parties concerned in the loop ;-)
