[WriteLog] 1000MP help

[k6ufo at arrl.net]

Mike, I'm sorry you haven't received a solution yet, but the 
problem could be due to several things, and the information 
you provided doesn't make any particular issue "jump out" as 
the most likely. No, Your radio doesn't need to be programmed,
but you can verify that with your Yaesu manual.

Standard troubleshooting procedure would try to isolate the 
problem to one component, or to the interaction of only a 
single pair of components.  Has the radio ever been serial 
port controlled from a different computer? Say at Field Day,
at a friend's house, at a club house. Can you find a local ham 
who has a working logging system, and try just substituting 
in your radio? Does the computer communicate through the USB-to-
serial adapter to any other devices, like an old serial port 
modem or printer? 

Good luck, let us know if you solve it.
