There is a good INI file editor for WriteLog, WlIniEdit. I don't remember who was maintaining this but a search of the archives should find it for you. I also take the time to plow through my INI fil
Actually, this has already been done. LeaderboardLive allows willing WriteLog operators to share scores automagically during the contest at periodic intervals. Unfortunately, I don't think it is supp
Check the Help file's section on the INI file. There you will find the name of the parameter which you can adjust for the number of seconds that the bandmap entry will be displayed. There is a simila
No, not a typo. There is no need to AutoSave frequently in WL because all contacts are saved immediately in the intermediate backup file. The only contest where AutoSave is important is the WAE conte
Hi Jim -- There are many times when I am not ready to log the QSO at the time the exchange or TU message is sent. I might still be correcting data, for example. So I definitely do NOT want these memo
I probably change something in the INI file before almost every contest, in order to tweak WL for that specific contest. -- Eric K3NA --Original Message-- From: writelog-bounces@contesting.com [mailt
Leaderboard Live was an independent application that ran on your computer, but read the data from WL. It communicates over an internet connection. Sure would like to see it active again! -- Eric --Or
Unfortunately as an itinerant contester I seem to always be at different locations, or setting up computers at a multi-op... so always get my fingers dirty in the INI file. Some day I will have a sta
You probably did the following while S&P using the Setup\Enter Sends Exchange/QRZ option: him: CQ TEST K3NA K3NA you: [type in call, see that it is not a dupe, press F4] VE7FO him: VE7FO 599 5 you: [
The first thing that I would check are the following: -- the user name on each machine has Admin privileges. -- the user name on each machine is the same, is all upper case characters, without spaces
Make sure both the user name and the password are ALL UPPER CASE, no spaces, and fit within Win98 size limits. Win98 will not accept NetDDE connections that don't use upper case passwords... --Origin
Eight will work. More than eight characters doesn't work. And no embedded spaces in the user name or password; e.g., "ED BAINS" won't work for a user name even though it is 8 characters and upper cas
Use the Tools/Keyboard Shortcuts feature to re-define the RIT-Clear key to something convenient for your keyboard. The new Tools/Keyboard shortcuts feature in 10.45 is a wonderful asset! -- Eric K3NA
The utility allows WL to operate with the various configuration parameters (normally found in the infamous WriteLog.ini file) stored away in the Windows Registry. There are two advantages to this app
No need to get hung up over LPT port keying. Serial port keying works fine under Win XP on laptops. During WW CW at ZA1A, we had a laptop with WinXP at every station... and we used serial port CW key
According to my understanding: 1. Recording transmit audio: There are several approaches. a) Record the audio from your headphone jack; turn on the monitor function. The drawback to this approach is
I can comment on a few of Eric's items, and hope others will have additional suggestions. - Split window: There is no way to change the pop-up window location at present. It's only intended to be a t
Have you used Setup/Ports/Wavefile Locate to identify to WriteLog where the wavefiles are to be found? Hello group and thanks to all who helped me get started on the WL SSB learning curve. I am unabl
The Hotsync application may be grabbing the COM port when WinXP boots and you log in. That prevents WL from using it. You will have to make sure that the Hotsync app does not start when the system bo
Key subtle point for this mixed machine environment: the PASSWORD and USERNAME for all three machines must also be ALL CAPS and NO SPACES. Win98 and earlier barf unpredictably if the username/passwor
