[WriteLog] IC-7000 DTR /RTS PTT

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Hector, 

Even though you do not use the interface for CW (and have 
no "key" line connected) set WriteLog as follows: 

In Set-up | Ports 

  1) check "CW" on the same port as you use for the radio 
  2) Set CW Keyer type to "PC Generates" 
  3) check "All mode PTT on CW Port RTS" 
  4) click "OK" 

When you return to the main screen, select "Setup -> Save 
Configuration.  

This will put PTT on the same port as CI-V and should 
release the constant PTT when WriteLog is running. 

73, 

   ... Joe, W4TV
