[WriteLog] Problem with DCU-2

I got a new HY-GAIN DCU-2 rotator control unit.  Am trying to inferface with 
Writelog.

This unit has a built-in chip, and only requires a USB cable to the PC.

I downloaded the recommended drivers, and a virtual com port was installed 
via the "Found New Hardware" wizard.  This shows as  USB COM PORT 8.  I set 
this port up as the rotator control port in Writelog.

It works.  But only once.  It slews the rotator to the bearing shown for the 
callsign in the entry box, as it should, but will not do it again for any 
subsquent callsigns.  If I go out of Writelog and reboot the PC, then 
restart Writelog, the correct port (USB COM PORT 8) is still shown as 
rotator control, and it will slew to the correct bearing.  Once.

Any suggestions appreciated.
