[WriteLog] WriteLog - DIGI Keyer - IC7800

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Barry/Jon, 

If you have COMM PTT enabled, it is possible that the "PTT Off" 
command is getting clobbered by collisions on the CI-V bus.  
Disable COMM PTT and use RTS on the CW port (or LPT if you have 
one) for SSB PTT. 

73, 

   ... Joe, W4TV
