Hi all,
I have a G4ZLP digimaster pro+ which is basically an opto-isolator driven from an FTDI USB serial port. In CW it randomly goes mad sending all sorts of rubbish/garbage. It's not RF as i'm only keying the side tone, it's not the interface as it works fine with Logger32, SD and N1MM, but I'm hoping there is a simple line to add into the writelog.ini file to make it behave itself? This has actually been bugging me for a couple of years and until now I have worked around this by using an old Winkey on the laptop's comport. But I've now changed the 'holiday laptop' to a newer one and it doesnt have a com port. I was hoping that the erratic behaviour was machine specific but its still the same on the newer laptop. If I can't solve this I'll have to go down the separate USB serial port route as I'm really reluctant to buy another winkey USB. In these times of extortionate excess baggage charges every LB/1/2 KG helps and the fewer cables/interfaces I need to pack the better it is.

Any advice would be appreciated.
