[WriteLog] Icom CT-17 with Writelog

[Jay WS7I]

Confusing question.  You can change a lot of Icom radio's to whatever 
port you want in the respective menu.  Thus you could have 2 706Mk2G's 
one at 58 and one at 42 if you want.  So it would depend.  The address 
00 hex hits every address on hte CIV at once.  Or if you don't know what 
address it is on that will work for anything on the bus.

The purpose of hte CIV unit is to address more than one and as long as 
you specify in writelog the address that should be okay.

Search in Writelog help for icom radio for some examples.

/The COMn_RTS_INIT and COMn_DTR_INIT settings are for the ports used for 
rig control (only--not FSK or any other COM port uses) and change the 
way WriteLog initializes the RTS and DTR lines on the rig port. Setting 
the value to 0 (zero) causes WriteLog to initialize the line off. 
Setting the value to 1 (one) causes WriteLog to initialize the line on 
(which is the default if there is no entry). Setting the value to 
anything else, like -1 (minus one), causes WriteLog to not change the port.
WriteLog supports RTS/CTS flow control for some rig drivers that turn 
that feature on, and that feature is disabled if COM_n_RTS_INIT is set 
to 0, 1 or -1, but is enabled for a setting of -2./

|COM1_RTS_INIT=-2
COM1_DTR_INIT=1

/The following entries override WriteLog's default setting for the Icom 
rig address for the various Icom rigs. All rigs that have Icom rig 
addresses have corresponding entries in WriteLog.ini here under the name 
that matches the name in the Setup Ports dialog *including space 
characters*!/

|Icom  IC-781=0x33
Icom  IC-756PRO=0x12

/For WriteLog to talk to the Kachina front panel software, it must know 
where the Kachina software is installed./
