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

No, after looking at it and Writelog again with fresh eyes it is
because WriteLog uses Icom IC-756Pro3 while the manual edit to
writelog.ini says "Icom IC-756PROIII=0x6e".

Removing all three lines in the [RIGS] section, starting WriteLog
again and selecting the rig, serial port and data rate in Setup |
Ports and saving the configuration will probably get it going.

The Icom IC-756Pro3 with default address of 63h is known to Writelog,
it should not be necessary to specify an address override at least
with the last few versions.

73,
