[WriteLog] IC-9700 Connection via USB Times out in about 10 seconds

Fri Sep 9 10:28:19 EDT 2022

Rick, Good Morning, 

I have upgraded from a few past versions of Writelog to 12.66d and Digirite 2.2.2.11 and had no problems with setting them up and either of their performance.  They are excellent together.  I will say that I had just a little difficulty adjusting the Digirite Receive-1 display, but after fiddling with the Options adjustments for a few minutes it just sort of came around.    

I used it during the WW-DIGI contest and it worked equally well in both FT8 and FT4.  Actually I will say that I enjoyed the FT4 mode more than the other.  It is just a little more snappy, but with one radio will never be as snappy as RTTY.  

Actually I used Writelog on RTTY during the Rookie Roundup RTTY and made about 20 QSOs and that all work equally as well.  

So I would suggest that if you have a working setup for 12.43E then upgrading to (your available) latest version would not be a problem.   

GL, Jim/KC4HW

Agreed, to bad Digirite got into a P^&*ing contest with the Princeton group
I'm still using the original Digirite with Writelog 12.43E and in fact I am
not upgrading WriteLog because I do not want to try all the voodoo to get
the new Digirite to work with it! I'm keeping 12.43E as long as I can.

Maybe some bright programmer can either automate the new Digirite loading
process or re-write Digirite and burn Princeton altogether. When/if that
happens I will upgrade my Writelog.

Yes sports fans it has now become that serious for the Writelog folks. I'm
not alone on this for sure.

The later versions of Writelog do not have/use an INI file. 

This is disappointing for me.   I've used Writelog since back pre-version 8.
I love how it handles multiple rig inputs for VHF contests.  There is so
much FT8 activity on VHF now,  to contest and not be able to work/log FT8
contacts is nearly as bad as not operating at all.    I may have to consider
other contest logging options.

When you first go into Writelog on the right hand side you can EXPORT the
INI file.

Two things.

1. The USB Cable must be very short -- this is an Icom problem.

2. In the [RIGS] section

Com3:=19200,n,8,2                 Com port that you are using BUT 2 Stop
bits.
