The problem you describe sounds like an intermittent communication error. ?What's the hardware you use to connect the radio to the computer for the radio interface ? ?Also can you verify your baud rate is set to an explicit number and not "auto" in WriteLog (or the radio side). Thanks, Steve N9OH On Sat, 30 Nov at 3:02 PM , AL HUTCHESON wrote: I used the previous version 12.30 in October and no problem.? This past month I tried to use it again and it would no longer read the rig frequency.? No settings were changed. I purchased and uploaded 12.45 hoping it would fix the problem.? It did not.? All other logging programs have no problem reading the rig freq. on Comm 1 Write log will set the freq. on command, so it does see my radio.? But it does not see the radio freq.? All other functions work fine. My OS is Windows 7.? Please advise.? Thanks.

No frequency from the rig is reported to Writelog. I can change the frequency from the menu, thus there is communication between Writelog and the radio. My radio is an IC-7600 and my computer is running Win 10 and NOTHING except Writelog versions changed in my system. I uninstalled 12.45 and I am back to using my version 11 which works just fine.

When I upgraded from Version 12.34 to 12.45 I lost communication between WL and my Bandmaster3 which controls the band filters. Changing bands on the rig (IC7600) would automatically change to the correct Band Filter. Now nothing. If I uninstall V 12.45 and reinstall V 12.34 the Bandmaster3 sees the change of bands and reacts accordingly changing to the correct band fliter and all is well. I like some of the new features in 12.45 but in order for the program to be functional I have to got back to 12.34. Has anyone else had this problem of WL apparently losing random communication paths with the computer because of an upgrade? 73 Ken W0LSD On Wed, Dec 4, 2019 at 4:15 PM Frank M Etzler wrote: > Al, > I just wanted you to know that I have the same problem.

You mission, should you choose to accept it, is as follows: 1. Take note of where you can find your must recent FULL install kit for WriteLog. You will need it in order to undo the changes in the remainder of these instructions. If you skip this step, we can still help you later, but you'll have to ask for help and wait for us to get around to answering your requests for help. 2. Download this file: ??? http://writelog.com/Downloads/WL1246_RigDiagnostics.zip 3. With WriteLog NOT running, confirm you are logged into your PC with an account with Administrator privilege. 4. Unzip the above download into "C:\Program Files (x86)\WriteLog\Programs" (or wherever you installed WriteLog). If you do NOT get a prompt saying "Do you really want to overwrite WlogRi32.dll?" then you are NOT yet in the right directory. 5. From now on, when you run WriteLog, you will get a box that pops up saying "Log file started at:". REMEMBER WHERE THIS IS. 6. Take WriteLog through the steps required to demonstrate what DOES WORK and then what DOES NOT WORK. 7. Exit WriteLog. 8. Email a copy of the wlogio.log file that you REMEMBERED to w5xd at writelog.com. Include that file in your email, and a description, preferably in English, of what buttons/keys/clicks you did in WriteLog to make the file. 9. To undo this diagnostic install (and get rid of that popup every time WriteLog starts) run your most recent FULL installer. And then run your most recent UPGRADE installer. The latter can be downloaded from writelog.com. The former you have to ask us to help you. Wayne, W5XD
