>> This week end turned into a really head scratcher for me. First I am using FTdx5000MP, KPA-1500, microHam Keyer2 with software being general logging=DX4WIN(9.0.9.1259)+MMTTY, contesting= Writelog(12.44)+MMTTY, router (9.3.4) and WIN 10 pro. This combination worked flawlessly up to Friday when I saw that Elecraft did a firmware update for the KPA1500 to Ver 2.48 which I did.... what possibly could go wrong... yeah! Everything works as it should with DX4WIN but Saturday I started the contest with Writelog and that's when I discovered the amp no longer wanted to follow the rig. I went thru everything in Writelog and the menu in the KPA1500. But when I change bands by button push on the 5000 the amp starts flipping back and forth. In Writelog PORTS menu I unchecked POLL for the rig and that seemed to help but then the rig no longer changed freq with the dial. Just couldn't sort this out so closed Writelog and opened DX4WIn.... everything works like normal.... amp follows rig as usual.... went back to Writelog and same problem. There is no difference in the Router software for either program so what is different? Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks and 73's Cort K4WI
