[WriteLog] SO2V with K3

[John Graf]

Eureka -- I have found it.  I figured out what the problem is, and can now start working on a solution.

I am using the K1EL WKUSB Winkeyer II.  It has two outputs, KEY1 and KEY2.  My K3 is plugged into KEY1.

When you select 2 radios in the Writelog setup, the program automatically switches the keyer output from KEY1 to KEY2 when you change the focus the the 2nd radio.  So that was what was happening to me.  The keyer output got switched to KEY2 whenever I selected the 2nd receiver, and there is nothing hooked up to the KEY2 output.  Writelog doesn't understand SO2V when it comes to the keyer output.

I am sure that there is a way to fix this.  I have to research to see if there is an .ini setting that will stop Writelog from switching keyer outputs.  If not, then I am sure I can figure out a 'Y' cable with a couple of diodes to have both outputs key the K3.

Thanks again for your help, Ed.
