I am trying to set up the writelog to properly key an IC 705. Owners of the IC-7300 many also be able to help as these radios are similar. The version of Writelog is the latest one.  Radio connection is fine.  I assure writelog.ini is no longer used.

The second usb port (in my case Com 5) on the radio set to key CW on the radio with RTS, CI-V is Com 6.
I know the port settings can be used for CW keying. What settings should I use.  Setting the Com 5 as the CW port doesn't seem to work. I have tried no PPT or PPT via RTS. The keyer choice is PC generates. With no PPT the radio locks in transmit on selection. With RTS set  and using the CW keyboard the radio goes into transmit for the duration of the message. No characters are heard just a constant tone.
The old CW decoder works fine or at least as fine as it ever did.
I am also at a loss with regard to Rittyrite CW operation. How does its operation affect affect the port setting for CW.
Thanks es 73 de
