Dick,
Yahoo! Glad to hear the problem was an easy one to fix. I remember being
bitten by the restrict clicks thing a few years back, but I am the one who
set it that way. Worked ok until I tried clicking on an EU station who was
running split on 40M SSB. The darned Band Map would not allow me to click
down low on 40M for a SSB QSO because it was not legal for me to be there on
SSB!
As for the mouse wheel thing... Try setting the Hz=100 or 10 and see what
happens. You will have to shut down WL and restart it again for the change
in the ini file to take effect. The Band Map may be changing, but at 5 Hz
it is such an incrementally small change the map doesn't appear to move.

Hi again, Gary, and also to the others who may be following this mystery.
As for sounding like a lawyer, no problem. I added the line
Mouse_Wheel_Hz=n (made n=5) to my WRITELOG.INI file. Made no difference.
I still don't get anything to change.
I checked the Band Edges and all is OK there.
I right clicked on the bandmap and saw that "Restrict clicks to legal bands"
was
checked. I cleared that checkmark and now I can click on a station in the
bandmap
and the call is entered in the Entry Window and the FT-950 goes to the
frequency
the station is on. Not sure how that line got checked because I sure don't
recall
clicking on it. But then I have days when I can't remember what I had for
breakfast
that day. So, your suggestion to uncheck that line did the trick, Gary.
Fantastic!
So, it looks like things are working, except for the mouse wheel changing
frequency.
I use a cordless mouse, so that may be part of the problem. That particular
thing
is not as important as having the radio jump to the proper freq when a call
is clicked
on and having the call fill the entry window. I can turn the knob on the
radio.
If anybody can come up with an answer as to why the mouse wheel is not
changing
the radio freq or bandmap freq I'm open to an answer.
Thanks for the help, Gary and also thanks to some of the others who tossed
out
suggestions. Now, back to that mouse wheel....

Dick

PS: See you in the WW this weekend.

Ok Dick, this is starting to get more interesting. Sorry to sound like a
lawyer, but a few more questions.... It is normal behavior for a call that
has been added to the band map to remain there until it times out even if
the call is deleted from the Entry window. Since you are getting the call to
populate the CALL field by clicking in the Super Check Partial window there
is correct communication between WL and the radio. The mouse wheel info is
contained in the writelog.ini file in the Configuration section.
Mouse_Wheel_Hz=n sets the number of Hz to move the radio/Band Map dial with
each move of the mouse wheel. Check your ini file to see if this is still
present.
Do you have Band Edges defined in WL for your Band Map window? These are
created by using the Edit Sub Bands utility in the WriteLog program group.
If so, and you have defined a Digital Sub Band, for example mine goes from
14000 to 14150 for Digital, does the defined Digital Sub Band include the
RTTY upper limit? Is your radio within the limits of the Sub Band
definition? Right click on the Band Map and look at the window of options.
Is “Restrict clicks to legal bands” checked? If so, clear the check mark
and see if that makes any difference.
Just fishing here, but something is conflicting somewhere.

No. Nothing happens.

Yes. If I turn the knob on my FT-950, the bandmap follows the frequency.
If your mouse has a wheel on it, does the radio frequency

It dis it once (changed freq on radio), but after I clicked on the ststion
in the
bandmap it stopped working. If I enter a call in the entry window and
tell it to
add to bandmap it does it. But, if I deleete that call from the entry
window it's
still on the bandmap. If I double click on it I get no response. If I
start to enter
a call in the entrry window, a list of calls with the letters I typed
appear in the
Super Check Partial window. If I click on any call in that window, it
appears
in the data entry window.
If so, does the Band Map
