[WriteLog] Problems with Rig Control of 756Pro

[Richard Crouch]

I use DXLab for my primary logging, spotting, etc software.  Rig control of the 756PRO works great using COM4 and  a Radio Shack serial to USB adapter for the port on the computer.
 
When I run WriteLog, however, rig control using the same port does not work.  A clue, perhaps - it doesn't say "No Radio" in the lower left of the QSO entry window, but rather it says "kHzFSK."  I.e., it is sort of working, but it's not.
 
I have confirmed that Writelog.ini has the correct radio, COM port and radio address, 64h for the 756PRO.  The baud rate is set for 9600 in WL, in the 756Pro and on the computer for that port.
 
Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

Thanks!

Subject: [WriteLog] Keyboard Shortcut Tips



I've been looking at various functions available under "Tools
Keyboard-shortcuts." Look at the drop down menu at the bottom next to
"Command to Run." It is a treasure trove of potential keystroke and time
savers. Read through them carefully as it is not immediately apparent (at
least it wasn't to me) what some mean on a cursory glance.

One PITA (pain in the ass) with WL is there is only one mult window and to
change continents or zones in it you need to mouse over to the drop down
menu, click on it, select what you want, and then click back in the QSO
entry window to enter a QSO. Or, you can set up a key (I used F12) for
ContestShowMultipliersNext. Hit F12 and you see the next continent without
having the cursor leave the QSO entry window. WOW!!!

I also set up the "[" key to be the same as the INSERT key so I don't have
to lift my hand off the keyboard to send the other guys call and my
exchange.
