Same results here.  WriteLog is unusable.

Subject:  [WriteLog] MK II CW suddenly choppy


Since trying to get  started in the ARRL DX CW contest this weekend I've 
noticed a  problem with the sending in my MK II  that has never occurred 
before.  On my CQ message the keyer will intermittently pause for a  moment 
in the middle of my call or the word TEST resulting in a  space being 
inserted in the string.  For example the message  "CQ TEST AL9A" will 
sometimes send as "CQ TES T AL 9A", "CQ TE ST  AL9A", "CQ TEST A L9A ", or 
"CQ TEST AL 9A".  The pattern  seems completely random.

I know it is not RF related because it  will occur even when the IC-7600 
has 
its CW setting set to break in  off.  This essentially makes the radio a 
code 
oscillator and  no RF is being keyed.  I tried to think of anything that 
has 
changed recently and the only things I came up with since the last CW  
contest were to upgrade WriteLog to 10.83E and install a new HP  Officejet 
4500 printer.  I went into System Configuration and  turned off the HP 
Digital Imaging software in the Startup folder  and the printer itself. 
Problem is still there.  I went back  to an earlier CW contest log in 
WriteLog dating prior to the 10.83E  upgrade and the keying problem is now 
present with that message  buffer too.

System is Windows Vista 32 bit, IC-7600, MK II, PW-1  amp.  Anyone else run 
into to this problem with WriteLog  10.83E?

73,
Gary AL9A
