[WriteLog] No Rig

[artw4aa at bellsouth.net]

After nearly 10 years, I retired my clunky old W/98/COM pc. 
In its place, I am trying to get WL 10.69D working on a new 
Lenovo A61e pc that has no COM or LPT ports.

I tried two different, brand new USB-to-RS232 adapters, an 
MCT U232-P9 and a Belkin F5U409, for the connection between 
the pc and the "W5XD MK1100" keyer.  I tried each one on a 
couple of different ports on the Setup "Ports" screen, but 
never could get that link working.  I ALWAYS get "No Rig" in 
the little box to the left of the Entry window, and I am 
unable to set the frequency or band from that box.

If it makes any difference, both adapters have three 
indicators -- "Link," "TX," and "RX."  I have seen activity 
on the Link and TX indicators, but never on the RX 
indicator.

The power supply and all other cables are from my original 
W/98/COM setup.  I've checked for bent pins and loose 
connections, but everything looks fine.  It logs OK and 
sends manual and canned CW OK.  What could I be missing for 
rig control?  Guess I'll have to scratch any participation 
in the ARRL DX CW contest.

Thanks, Art/W4AA
