[WriteLog] Bandmap and Timed CQ issues

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

The critical place to look is to make sure that COMM PTT is set
to NO on the ports screen.  Hardware PTT: "All Mode PTT on RTS",
PTT on the FSK Port in RTTY (2Tone, MMTTY, and RTTYrite), etc.
are all parallel contact closures and should not be an issue.

73,
