[WriteLog] [FCG] SOR2 keying focus with WriteLog

[Georgek5kg at aol.com]

Dave and any WL users,
 
We are back to troubleshooting the SO2R cw keying focus problem.   To 
restate the problem, the cw keying focus on the DX Doubler does not  
automatically switch from Radio L to Radio R.  The logging program is  WriteLog, ver 
10.87e.  The DX Doubler will switch cw keying focus manually  just fine.
 
We have confirmed that there is a constant +4.5 vdc on pin 14 of the LPT  
connector.  It does not go to 0.0 vdc when switching from Radio L to Radio  R 
in WriteLog.  For some reason, WriteLog is not causing the +4.5 vdc  on LPT 
pin 14 to toggle.
 
Any ideas will be appreciated.
 
Tnx, George

Hi  George,


The most basic  response of the DXD is to have the red LEDs transfer from 
Radio 1 to Radio 2  and back when you switch transmit focus.  The DXD looks 
for a toggling  TTL-level line on its input connector J9, Pin 14, from the  
manual:





My first  recommendation is to have you put a meter on Pin 14, and then 
change radios on  the computer.  You should see the level go up and down, and 
actually hear  relays click in the DXD.  If you can test that, and let me 
know, we can  go to the next step of debugging.


73 -  Dave

Hi  Dave,
I  checked the jumpers, and they are set according the instructions in the 
DXB  manual.
The red  LEDs only switch when I switch them manually. I could not get them 
to switch  automatically regardless of what I did with WriteLog
I spent  the better part of Saturday troubleshooting this problem, but in 
the end just  gave up. By 4pm, I had to reconfig the radios and antennas for 
SO1R. I also  then went back to WinTest as my logger, as I prefer that over  
WriteLog.
I'd like  to find the solution to the automatic cw focus problem so I can 
go SO2R with  the DXB. Are you available to assist me?
Tnx,  Geo...

George,


Are the internal jumpers set properly  for WL?


If the red LEDs are changing, then  the CW and PTT signals should be being 
switched between the two  radios.

Subj: [FCG] SOR2 keying  focus
Hello all...any help with this  will be appreciated.

I have set up WriteLog (10.87E) for SO2R using a  Top Ten DX Doubler. I
have all of the functions are working except the  automatic switching of CW
keying from Radio 1 to Radio 2 does not work. I  can manually switch the CW
keying between R1 and R2, ok, but not  automatically.

Is there a menu function in WriteLog that I must  set?

73, George
