Jerry,

What is different between the software that seems to work for you and
Writelog?

Can you look at the radio control settings of those programs and confirm
that they're the same?  Maybe write them all down so you can compare them
all at a glance?

If it works with one program with the same hardware, and not another, there
has to be a reason.

If I understand correctly, you cannot get any version of Writelog to
communicate with the radio, either on this computer, or another with Win98
and an old version of Writelog.  But, the radio works fine with other
programs?

73,

Bob W5OV

Well, I'm totally flummoxed. 

NOT yet working and I've verified and tried every switch combination on the
Piexx board. Made sure that the WL and Windows Ports matched the  baud rate.

Using the 2nd PC, running Windows 98 & WL 10.50d On the UX-14 Piexx board:
   Switched to 4800 Baud. 
   Turned off the Transcieve mode.
   Turned off the Smart Band Switch mode.
   Turn off the RS-232 echo mode.

Each of these features performed as advertised, EXCEPT the rig WILL NOT go
to Frequency or Mode as commanded by WL.

Is my radio busted? Is the Piexx i/f busted? Probably not as I CAN command
the rig using other software (Logger32, N1MM logger, DF4OR's CI-V test
program).

The only thing I can think to do is take the rig over to someone elses QTH
and see if my rig will work there.

Hopelessly and totally disgruntled and frustrated. Maybe its time to put
this rig away and concentrate on getting the IC-765 up and interfaced to WL.
