[WriteLog] Recent Problems with WL v10.62h

[Eric Rosenberg]

Over the last couple of contests I've run into the following questions and issues with WL. As far as I can tell, these are not version specific. 

I'm running it on a 1.8 GHz P4 machine, 1 mb memory and a Matrox dual monitor card. 

1. Resetting the soundcard. My sb interface stopped working and I couldn't figure out how to straighten everything out. Buried in his website, K9JY says "Try just running the Sound Board Check program. I suspect this works because it reinitializes the sound card and opens and mutes the correct sound channels for WriteLog."  I did it and it worked! 

-- is there another way to accomplish this in the start-up of Writelog? 

2. I use two monitors and when the going gets slow, I've been known to check the weather or my email... hey, at 3 am on 160, it *does* get slow!  Is there a keystroke that willget me back to WL? I know there are ones that get you back to the QSO entry screenif you're within WL. 

3. How do I program the CW, SSB and/or RTTY memories accessed by the buttons over the QSO entry fields. I accidentally clicked on one this weekend and was shocked to hear audio come out! 

4. Is there a way to search the log "live"?  There are times when I'd like to have more detail when I'm S&Ping, for example, who did I work in section XX? 

Thanks & 73,
