[WriteLog] WriteLog and RixExpert

[Risto Kotalampi]

Couple of questions:

Which version of RigExpert (plus/SD/tiny?).
What do you want to do exactly? CAT/RTTY/CW keying.

So, this example might not be what you're looking for but this works for 
Windows XP, RigExpert SD & getting CAT and CW keying to work. RTTY AFSK 
also works with RE dirvers.

You will need REaudio 5 installed for all this.

To get CAT & CW keying working:

Step #1) Look at COM ports, you should find the USB port that is the 
RigExpert native USB port

Step #2) Look at device manager at sound, video and game controllers. 
You should find "RigExpert Virtual Sound Card", open that and look at 
"RigExpert" tab. You should have Virtual COM port the RigExpert is 
located as the same you found in step #1, and below that you can set 
"CAT port this driver provides for programs". I have it as COM2 so that 
WL COM1-4 will work without any extra config entries. Also, I have PTT 
output is "activated on wave out" and CW output "CAT port, DTR line".

Step #3) In Writelog, Setup->Ports: you put your rig to whatever COM 
port you had defined as CAT port.

I probably miss couple of settings here but this is how I have mine set 
and it seems to work fine.

73!

One of the problems is that WL would only work with COM ports 1 thru 4. The second problem is that I am not sure which of the 3 ports created by RE should be used for what purpose. So if anyone is using WL and RE I would very much appreciate the details of your configuration. I am sure many will benefit from such info.
