[WriteLog] COM port timing problems

[Simon Brown]

What sort of serial port do you have - built-in or are you using a USB <=> 
serial port cable? If it's a cable then your symptoms are similar to those 
others have experienced with 'inferior' cables.

Another option is that some - very few - Yaesu FT-8x7 have synchronisation 
problems.
