[WriteLog] Dueling CQ's in WriteLog?

[Don AA5AU]

Jerry, I'm not 100% sure on this but I do not think Dueling CQ works in RTTY mode. You can try it in CW mode to see if it works. If so, switch to RTTY and see if it works. If it works on CW but doesn't work on RTTY then it confirms what I remember about it not working on RTTY.
I do SO2R RTTY on two networked PCs and it definitely doesn't work on RTTY that way.

Thanks, Mike

Yes - it  was this posting, along with a couple of other similar ones 
I discovered, that tell me that WL worked in the past to do exactly 
what I need. But it just doesn't work for me with V11.29b under Win7. 
I tried it yesterday before posting and again to make sure I was 
following instructions exactly.

I don't see the "CQ will auto-resume" message, and the focus doesn't shift.

If this is working for you there with a recent version of WL maybe I 
need to change some other option to make it go here. Please let me 
know what version you are using that it is working with.

Thanks again
