[WriteLog] INSTALLING WRITELOG TO WORK WITH THE FLEX-5000A

[Jerry Pixton]

Ted,

There are several of us that have struggled with getting Writelog and 
Flex 5000 working. I also have it running in a SO2R configuration using 
both Flex receivers.

VAC is the critical element. Once you master that, it is easy to get 
digital audio to many devices. Read the manual carefully.

If you happen to be using Windows 7, the other critical thing is getting 
the VAC audio devices (in the Sound applet) running at 48,000 instead of 
the default 44,100 Hz. There is a Flex article on this.

Also if you use MMTTY and others you will want a sample rate of 12,000 
instead of the 11025 default.

Lots of configuration to learn about but once you get it working, lots 
of fun. I know I was pulling out what little hair I have left for 
several months before I had a contest ready setup.

Ask questions.

Jerry
