All,
Over the past couple of years, there has been a fair
amount of discussion,
off and on, about how "complicated" WriteLog is to use.
Others have noted
that my web site is better than the Help files, but still
too "engineering"
oriented (though I am neither an engineer nor a
programmer).
I've directly contacted some people stating those
critiques because my
objective for the web site is to provide beginners as
well as experienced
users the information they need about WriteLog to reach
their contesting
objectives. After some due consideration, I think my site
has become a bit
past where a true beginning contester would be starting
off with WriteLog,
probably a natural result of doing this now for several
years.
To address this, I'm creating a section called "WriteLog
Lite," named from a
blatantly stolen suggestion made somewhere in the past on
the reflector,
with the specific purpose of providing "one-time" setup
work and then
recurring setup for the CW, SSB, and Digital modes. It is
to address
beginning users and those that do single radio, often
single mode,
contesting. The section will strip away a lot of options
available for SO2R,
networking, and Multi-Op Contesting and focus on single
radio contesting
used by hundreds - perhaps thousands - of WriteLog users.
The beginnings of
this are up on the web site already in the "WriteLog
Lite" section on the
left navigation bar; you all can see a work in progress
as I move along. You
may have to 'refresh' your browser to see the addition.
In any case, here is where I need your help. I'd like to
provide information
on the Setup|Ports section to show how all the different
radios are set up
on a com port. I have an FT-1000MP, but don't know the
settings for any
other radio out there. So, if you have radio control
connected to WriteLog,
I'd like to know your settings in the Setup|Ports dialog
box. And for those
of you with the external box for Icom's (CV-17?) I'd like
to know that too.
I also think with Icom's that one has to change radio
addresses, so if you
can address that in the email, I'll get that in there
also.
Reply to me direct at mailto:scot@k9jy.com and as I get
the radio
information, I'll post back here to the reflector so we
don't get too much
duplication. I really appreciate the help.
Also, as an aside, I now have the capability to create
Adobe Acrobat files
and I am going to provide an Acrobat file for every
section of my web site
so it can be downloaded for personal use. I have one up
there for the
Universal Setup section. If you have Adobe Acrobat
Reader, you should be
able to read, print, and save the file for reference. As
I work through this
WriteLog Lite project, I'll be adding more.
Thanks in advance.
