[WriteLog] Problem with DCU-2

[Gary AL9A]

Jim,

When it quits working go to Device Manager and check the status of USB COM 
PORT 8.  Is it still there and functional?  It sounds like the port is going 
to sleep and WL isn't getting the command to move the rotor through to the 
port.

73,
Gary AL9A
