[WriteLog] Is anyone using an Icom IC-756 Pro III?

Thu Mar 6 16:49:24 EST 2014

Get rid of the two Com6:=19200,n,8,1 lines in the [RIG] section.  Use
Edit Writelog.ini from the Start menu before you start WriteLog.  Then
once Writelog has started use Setup | Ports to set the port speed to
19200 bps, and then "Save Configuration"
