[WriteLog] WriteLog - DIGI Keyer - IC7800

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Check the "PTT" box on the FSK port (COM 7) in Router (MMTTY will 
operate PTT in FSK) and set PTT to COM 6 RTS WL Will operate PTT 
in CW and SSB.  You DVK audio will need to come from a separate 
sound card since DigiKeyer does not support voice operation. 

see: www.microham.com/Downloads/DK_WriteLog_Setup.pdf  

Note: starting with Router 5.0.1 this configuration will also work 
with RTTYRite if you check "strict bps" in Router.  Do not use the 
"software FSK" setting in WriteLog/RTTYrite with DigiKeyer, microKEYER, 
microKEYER II or MK2R/MK2R+.
