[WriteLog] Flex 6700 and Writelog 12.10E

[Steve AI9T]

Hi Wayne

My Maestro does split just like running the Smart SDR software. If I 
want to go split it uses Slice B. So if WL used Slice A and B and not 
A/B and C/D the Maestro should work. I'm not a programmer so if there is 
something else involved I wouldn't know.

I would be happy to test an updated version for the Flex Driver when one 
is available.

My other question was regarding WL not saving my changes in the Setup. 
For instance in Ports setup I have rig type 1 set to Flex 6000 and Comm 
PTT to YES. Rig Type 2 is also set to Flex 6000. If I set Comm  PTT to 
YES on Rig Type 2 and save settings. Then close and restart WL the 
setting for Comm PTT on Rig Type 2 is back to NO. It will also not save 
my Head Phone settings. If I want the RTTYRITE window to open when I 
start WL it will not allow that either. I am saving configuration and 
doing a file save.

I may be doing something wrong but not sure what it is.
