I am using a Kenwood TS-570D and have the baud rate for the com port set to
1200.  I am using V 10.51M, but this was happening with previous versions as
well.

Has anyone had this problem, and how did you fix it?

DAn;

I had a similar problem in TR.  The problem was that RF was getting into the 
radio control lines fooling the computer into thinking the radio had changed 
modes.  This was easily solved in TR by setting a parameter called "NO POLL 
DURING PTT" to true.  This disabled the radio controls whenever key was PTT was 
down.

In Writelog, I think the same thing is accomplished if you set the Comm PTT 
field to SYNC for the COM port that you have your radio controls on.  For some 
reason, I don't have this problem in Writelog so I have never tried this, 
however.
