Welcome to my world... ;)
I spent all last weekend debugging this, including totally uninstalling and
reinstalling WriteLog and grinding through the registry to find any entry
related to WriteLog. I wish someone would publish ALL writelog.ini
settings.
Finally, I think I deleted every reference to LPTx: and then added
CW_ON_PIN1=1 that got rid of the choppy CW sending. Obviously, the Com port
data will be different than yours.
Please let me know if this works for you.
Here is what my INI file looks like:
[Ports]
COM1:=9600,n,8,1
COM2:=9600,n,8,1
COM3:=9600,n,8,1
COM4:=9600,n,8,1,p
dvktype=2
dvkport=0
cwtype=2
cwport=6
dvkstoploop=1
dvkechomic=1
Comm3Used=USED,POLL,34
Comm3RigManager={D0DE9422-0517-11D4-9D1B-00105AA43DDF}
Comm3Baud=19200
Comm3XmitControl=ALWAYS
CWPTTCONTROL=1
CWPTTDELAY=0
CW_ON_PIN1=1
