Tomas,
I don't believe that Writelog will support PTT/FSK on the same port as Rig
control. At the time I attempted it, I was using a Rigblaster Pro, which
requires 2 ports from your computer. You have a choice how you want to
arrange the internal use of those ports, and I ended up isolating Rig
Control on a port by itself. This is mainly because of how Writelog asserts
PTT, which is to key RTS on whatever port you select for PTT. This would
preclude the ability for the program to communicate with the rig separately.
This is the reasoning behind the rig being stuck in a "keyed on" mode.
I think that with Writelog, you may be forced to add a second port, and
maintain PTT/CW on one port and Rig Control on another.
