[WriteLog] FW: Mouse Wheel no longer adjusting frequency

[Keith Beebe W3KB]

Looks like I may have solved the problem.

It was a Com Port - Stop Bit issue.

I have three programs that use CAT control.....Writelog, DX4WIN and WSJT-X.

My overall Com 3 port used for CAT control was set for Stop Bits 2.  

Writelog and WSJT-X were set for Stop Bits 2.

DX4WIN doesn't have the ability to set Stop Bits so I assume it ran on 1.

So, if I was running DX4WIN, stopped it and switched to Writelog  it apparently kept the port at 1 but Writelog was set to 2 and it didn't like that....so the Mouse Wheel would not fine tune the CAT.

Bottom line:  everything: the Com port, Writelog, WSJT-X and DX4WIN are all now set to Stop Bit 1 and all programs seem to be working including the ability to use the Mouse Wheel to fine tune on Writelog.

Now that was "fun" to figure out.

Subject: [WriteLog] Mouse Wheel no longer adjusting frequency

Running the latest March 2021 Version 12.58B software.

While in the Entry window or the Band Map, the mouse wheel no longer is adjusting (fine tuning) the frequency.  Yes, the [Configuration] MOUSE_WHEEL_HZ=10 parameter is in the .ini file.

Entering a frequency such as 14025 in the ENTRY window puts the Rig on the frequency, but the mouse wheel is no longer fine tuning it.

CAT is working fine.  Selecting a spot in the Band Map puts the rig on that frequency.

Used to be able to fine tune that in either the ENTRY Window or the Band Map spot with the mouse wheel, but no longer.

This worked fine for years, but now it doesn't.

Yes, the mouse wheel works fine scrolling in the other programs so that is not it.

Any help would be appreciated.
