[WriteLog] WL DVK w/ Rigblaster Pro revised

Hi Rich,

Those settings will disable the DVK and WinKeyer.  I added the WinKeyer in order to get around corrupted Morse that was generated by the PC.

I selected the COM numbers for Rigblaster (COM6) and WinKeyer (COM7) in WRITELOG.INI.

Comm PTT is related to rig control.  I'm not using rig control (no rigs are selected).  Anyway, changing to NO doesn't "take" -- it gets changed back to YES.

vy 73,

Microphone audio is passed to the rig only when the switch is not in the "Process" position. PTT works but, the only time the Rigblaster "PTT" LED comes ON is when connecting to the PC when the PC sees it. I spoke with West Mountain Radio support. We believe there's a problem with communication between WL and the Rigblaster box, possibly a configuration issue in WL.
