[WriteLog] Writelog and IC7800 problem

[Gary Senesac AL9A]

I think you need to make a change in the [PORTS] section of the writelog.ini 
file.  From the WriteLog help file:

There are 4 "slots" available for WriteLog rig interfacing. By default, 
CommSlot1 is COM1:, but you can change that by changing the number on the 
right of the equal sign. These settings are not used for RTTY or for packet
CommSlot1=1
CommSlot2=2
In this example, the third and fourth slots are on COM7 and COM8. COM15 is 
as high as is supported.

CommSlot3=7
CommSlot4=8
If you are using COM7 you must reassign that port to the numeric range of 
1 - 4 for WritLog to see the radio.  Also, do not use Auto for the baud 
rate.  Pick a number from the list - 9600 usually works ok for most radios.
