[WriteLog] WL IC-7610 help

[Mike Seguin]

I use VSPE and set up a "splitter". I can do this with either a hardware 
comport or a virtual pair set up in VSPE.

Here is screen capture of the setup in VSPE that I use for connecting 
Writelog, WSJT-X, ACLog etc to an ANAN-100 SDR.

COM6 is the CAT port from the radio. COM16 is what I would usually use 
to connect W/L or WSJT-X. But instead, I created COM26. This 'splits' 
COM16 to allow up to eight connections at once.

For well behaved programs, this works well. I have seen some programs 
not play nice with com ports and take exclusive control which will cause 
issues. I can use Writelog and WSJT-X with no problem on a Win7 laptop 
and Win10 desktop. Both see/control the ANAN-100 fine.

YMMV so try before you buy.
