[WriteLog] K2/XV with Writelog

[Rajiv Dewan, N2RD]

Symptom:  Freq polling shows wrong frequency and cycles through the bands
  Rig: K2 with the KIO2 and 4 transvertes XV50 thru XV432
Serial port:  4 port PCI card RocketPort

Following Hank's suggetion,  I tried the single COM1 that I have on the 
motherboard.  On this the K2 and Writelog work.  There is no problem. 

I have not had a problem with any other rig on the Rocketport.  Indeed, 
my Yaesu 1KMP has no problem on the very port where K2 does not work.

I also do not have a problem with N1MM logger and any COM port.

Very odd.  It is only the combination of Writelog and the PCI Serial 
Ports that have the problem.  With our without the XVs I  still have the 
problem.  Essentially K2 - Writelog - PCI Serial Port are a no-go 
combination.  Very odd.

Could something in my KIO2 be busted?  Or is it a design issue?  Why 
shouldn't K2 work with all logging programs if hooked up correctly?

Thanks,
Raj, N2RD
