[WriteLog] Message breakdown

[Craig K0CF]

This is usually caused by the vagaries of Windows timing. The cure is to not
rely on Windows for CW timing
by using a separate K1EL WinKeyer USB. This will go on its own USB port, and
creates a virtual COM port.
WriteLog can connect to this COM port via settings on the Ports setup dialog.
The keying output of the
WinKeyer is electrically isolated, so RF and ground loops are never a problem.

I have been using this setup for years and it is perfectly reliable.

73, Craig, K0CF

This may not be specifically a WL issue but I thought I'd start here. I have WL
on a Packard Bell all-in-one, connected to an ICOM IC-7610 via the USB lead.
Occasionally when I send a CW message from the F keys the message appears to
break down into a garble noise. It doesn't happen every time and it may be
something such as RF getting in somewhere and I'll check that as well. Has
anyone else experienced and solved similar?
