WriteLog only "recognizes" comports 1 through 4. It can work with up to 15
different comports, but only 4 at any time. You need to make an entry in
your writelog.ini file, in the [PORTS] section to designate the comports you
want WL to use.
>From the [PORTS] section of the WL Help manual:
There are 4 "slots" available for WriteLog rig interfacing. By default,
CommSlot1 is COM1:, but you can change that by changing the number on the
right of the equal sign. These settings are not used for RTTY or for packet
CommSlot1=1
CommSlot2=2
In this example, the third and fourth slots are on COM7 and COM8. COM15 is
as high as is supported.
CommSlot3=7
CommSlot4=8
