[WriteLog] Writelog and ICOM CT-17 level converter

[Gary AL9A]

Huh!  My CT-17 and old IC-756PRO combo must be unique.  From within WL I can 
type a new freq in the Call field which QSY's both the radio and the PW-1 
amp.  Tap the F12 key and it sends the rig and amp back to where they were 
before.  I can set the radio to split and back single VFO again by typing 
the "-" key.  I had to enter the IcomForceSplit=1 command in the [RIGS] 
section of the ini file, but it does work.  The one thing I know doesn't 
work is the clear RIT function.  Icom doesn't have this in their command 
set.

73,
Gary AL9A
