[WriteLog] Bandmap and Timed CQ issues

[Randy Thompson K5ZD]

I am using FSK keyed through two serial ports.  I am using the W5XD MK1100
keyer for the audio switching.  PTT is set to none. Not sure how PTT is set
by WL when using FSK.

I am running 2Tone as the primary decoder. But, I have seen this same issue
with both 2Tone and WL's Rttyrite.
