[WriteLog] WriteLog - DIGI Keyer - IC7800

[Barry]

Jon,
I"m not familiar with the Digi Keyer, but I have a similar setup and 
problem.
I also replaced a 1000D with a 7800.  Everything works fine in CW and 
RTTY, however the PTT doesn't work in SSB and remains key down when I 
activate it.

I sent an Email to K5DJ, but no response.

One thing - I believe the serial params should be 8N1.  Only Yaesu uses 
2 stop bits.
Let me know if you come up with anything.
73,
Barry
