While it is true that for CW, RTTY, and digital modes Writelog can
control the PTT line it does not have the capability to control it for
SSB operation. If you look at the port setup menu you will notice the
only available option for configuring a DVK is parallel port (LPT1 -
4). Again I say the issue here is that no software driver exists to
control the PTT line for SSB operation. You can key your transceiver's
PTT line yourself with a footswitch but as far as VOX operation your out
of luck.
