[WriteLog] FT-891 Setup in Writelog

[Jim Johnson]

Yes, typing the frequency in the call entry will change and actually display it properly, but it will not change when I tune the VFO...  and I can enter another frequency this way and it will change in the WL displayed.   

Joe/K4TV, I do have the radio in VFO mode as indicated by the A on the display.

Can you type in 

7000 in the call entry field, hit enter and the radio frequency changes to
7000??

If not, the link isn't working
If yes, ....hummm

No sir!  I don't think it is, because I can spin the dial and the frequency
changes on the radio but not WL.  Actually, it is fully functional with
another logging program.

Is it possible you have the dial "locked" on the rig itself?  Unlock it, if
it is.

I had that happen to me before.

I am having some trouble setting up the rig control for a FT-891 using
Writelog 12.59F.

I selected FT-991 from the Rig Type and the enhanced port on my laptop which
is Com7, baud rate 19200 that matches the radio menu setting, poll checked
and Comm PTT NO.  

I can enter a frequency in the QSO entry window and it will move the radio
to that frequency and display the frenquency properly.  But turning the VFO
know does not have any effect on the displayed frequency.  

Anybody, have any suggestion for this?
