[WriteLog] MK1100

[Frank Hurlbut]

I have had the same problem with my station using CW and writelog. I have 2 
Yaesu MKV Fields networked using windows xp and 98. The CW key is using the 
Parallel ports. I have asked about this months ago and still haven't found a 
solution. none of the suggestions have worked yet. The CW is intermittent 
erratic. Sometimes a DAH will hold for 2 or 3 seconds then comtinue on fine. 
Most of the time it works fine. This happened after doing a recent upgrade. 
No hardware was changed and no new programs loaded to effect IRQ's or memory 
usage. The network is dedicated to writelog and radios. Something is wrong 
in the writelog code. I am very interested in getting any fix that is 
produced.
