[WriteLog] DXD and Piexx SO2RXlat

[john at kk9a.com]

I searched my emails and it was only two years ago that I asked this same
question. K6RB responded that he was successfully using Piexx with a DX
Doubler, however it took a while to figure everything out. I am happy with
my decision to switch to the MicroHam Micro2R and I was able to easily
modify my DX Doubler cables for this box.

The u2R is functionally a next generation DXD that adds USB and a WinKey.
Its configuration is much more powerful and flexible, all accomplished with
the MicroHAM Router software.  The u2R is the perfect replacement product
for long-time DXD users who want the key SO2R capability without all the
features of the MKR2+.

I too almost went the route of the Piexx SO2RXlat to keep my beloved DXD
working with updated PCs.  Then, the MicroHAM u2R was introduced and a much
better solution was available.

This doesn't directly answer Hal's original question and I don't know any
WriteLog users who use the DXD/Piexx interface.  In fact, the only person
using the DXD/Piexx I'm aware of is Scott K0DQ, but he uses it with
Win-Test.

I asked this question a few years ago and I did find someone using this
configuration, however to me it seemed complicated to set up.  I already
had wasted a lot of time trying unsuccessfully to get a PCIe parallel card
to work with Writelog on a new computer. So instead, I purchased a
MicroHam Micro2R which can be controlled by a USB port.  Since I already
had other MicroHam products it was easy for me to set up and operate.

I'd like to hear from anyone (off list please) who is using WRITELOG with
the DX doubler and the Piexx SO2RXlat for the interface..
