[WriteLog] Rig Control PROIII

[Ric Plummer]

There is actuall a third choice.
3) Change the CI-V address in WL to that of the PRO or PRO II
This is done with an .ini file entry, such as this cut from my file:

[rigs]
Icom IC-756PRO=0x6e

The advantage of this is that all your other programs
and setting will not be affected

Two choices here Bob:
1. Upgrade your version of WL to one that has the drivers for the PROIII.
2.  Change the default CI-V hex address of the PROIII to that of  the PROII
so that it communicates with WL as though it were a PROII.  I believe the
CI-V address of the PROIII is 6Eh.  Go into the setup menu of the rig (on my
IC-756PRO I press the Set/Others options on the menu screen - yours may be
different so check your manual) and scroll down through the menu items until
you find the CI-V Address line.  Change the 6Eh setting to 64h which is the
PROII.  Reboot WL and it should now communicate with the PROIII since it is
talking to WL like a PROII.

One caution note.  If you interface the rig to other software, such as a
logger program, MMTTY, etc. you will either have to change the rig address
back to its default or change the software to the PROII values to get things
working right with those programs.  Good luck.
