Hector,
Dan is correct ... I missed the fact that the XGGCOMMS interface
used serial port power from the DTR line. Use Dan's suggested
additions to the [RIGS] section of WRITELOG.INI (simply add the
[RIGS] heading/section if it does not already exist).

Since you are using an IC-7000 which supports PTT switching via
the CI-V interface, you can use it for PTT. Simply, set "Comm
PTT" for your radio port to "YES." I’m not a fan of software
PTT but in this case because of interface limitations it is
your only choice.
73,
... Joe, W4TV
