There IS a section in the ini file where the com port parameters are
specified - Make sure these are correct for your radio control, e.g.
9600-n-8-1 or whatever is CORRECT for your radio. These settings apparently
override the Windows Device Manager settings, so they ARE important. The
COM paarameters SHOULD be in your rig's user manual. GL

Subject: [WriteLog] Writelog and Japan Radio JST-245 HELP!
>
> I used Writelog for the first time in the CQWW Phone using the contest
> logging and computer soundboard capabilities with my IC-706. No problems.
> Today, I thought I'd hook up the computer and Writelog to my JST-245 for
> computer/Writelog control of frequency. If successful, I'd attempt to
modify
> the cabling for computer/writelog CW sending.
> Unlike my FT-1000 and IC-706, the JST-245 does not need an acessory CI-V
> level controller or such. The transceiver manual says to connect a
RS-232C
> connector directly from the JST-245 to the computer. I did that. I also
> went to setup and choose port setup. I choose the JST-245 and com 3, but
got
> a screen saying there was a com conflict. I choose com 1 and didn't get
that
> message screen so I assume there is no conflict.
> Problem- the computer/writelog are NOT controlling the JST-245 frequency.
> The front panel of the JST-245 has a LED that says "REMOTE" when the
> transceiver is being controlled by a computer. It is NOT lit up.
> I tried com 2 and no difference. I've rebooted the computer, turned the
> JST-245 off and on and still they don't talk to each other.
> Here are some questions. The JST-245 manual says to use a "RS-232C cable(
> commercially available crossed cable with 25-pin DSUB male connectors at
each
> end)".
> 1) Could I be using the wrong cable, one that is not crossed?
> 2) Is it possible that my version of Writelog bought and downloaded in
early
> October does not support the JST 245 even though it is listed as a
> transceiver option?
> 3) Do I need to do something in the Writelog INI files to make it work?
> 4) Have I done something wrong or forgotten to do something?
