The cw decoder quit working.  Using it as a audio panadapter  helps to zero 
beat.  What WL file has this function?  Any  suggestions?

Hi Rod,

I'm a bit confused by your statement that "The cw decoder quit working". 
What decoder?  WL does CW decoding via the Rttyrite window.  Is it the 
Rttyrite window that is not decoding?

A component part of Rttyrite is a smaller window called "WriteLog CW 
Receiver" that has two vertical bars and shows 750 Hz of bandwidth.  The 
short vertical bar is fixed at the center of the window, while the longer 
vertical bar shows your CW tone.  When receiving CW the waveform displays in 
this window and moving the VFO will allow you to zero beat the signal. 
There are also settings for min and max speed settings to decode.  Is this 
the window you are talking about?  Is the window visible, but no wave form 
displays?  What are the min and max settings?  This window is a function of 
the settings in your Rttyrite window so it would be helpful to know what 
those are?

Or, are you talking about the Window/CW Display window which is a 
multi-channel decoder?  This windows decodes multiple channels, I think up 
to six channels.  It also has a small vertical window with a small 
horizontal bar in the window center.  I never use this one, but I think this 
small window also shows incoming wave form.  I doubt this is the window you 
are trying to use, but am not certain.

73,
Gary AL9A

When it stops working means there is NO audio getting to it.  Check your
MicroHamKeyer if it has a soundcard built in.  Otherwise check to see if
you can play a CD of music in Windows.

Gary,

I knew it was there I just couldn't find it!
Thanks for the info on entering the azimuth.
Very nice!

I have been using Rotor Control for a long time and it works just fine.
But :

Also the latest WL version, 11.24J, contains a new feature for antenna
azimuth.  If the call field is empty just type in a number less than 360 and
hit Enter.  WL will begin turning the antenna to that direction without
needing a call in the CALL field.  Great feature when doing S&P and only get
a partial or marginal copy on the call, but enough to recognize the general
direction of where the beam should be pointed.

I have tried this after updating to version 11.24j and restarting WL but no
luck getting it to work.
Is there something else I need to do??

Joe,

My bad, the new functionality of "Radio/Antenna to this azimuth" for numbers 
0 through 359 in the CALL field was added in V11.22, not 11.24.  I didn't 
have to do anything to activate this function.  The Help manual includes the 
following:

"Turn Antenna to the azimuth indicated by the call sign in the current Entry 
Window. If the "call sign" is digits indicating a number from 0 through 359, 
then that number is taken to be the desired rotator azimuth. This menu entry 
is disabled (gray) if WriteLog does not detect antenna control software 
installed."

Check the WL menu selections at the top of the screen.  Under the Radio menu 
item there should be an entry "Antenna to this Azimuth".  Per the help item 
above, if this selection is grayed out WL is not detecting your antenna 
control software.  It recognized my Green Heron RT-21, which at that time 
was configured to drive a Create Design rotor.  That rotor has since died 
and I will not be able to replace it with the new Alpha-Spid I have sitting 
under the desk until later this spring.  I have reconfigured the RT-21 to 
work with the Alpha-Spid and did a bench test, but forgot to check if the WL 
azimuth function would work as before.  But, since it worked previously, I'm 
sure it will work again once the rotor is installed.

Gary AL9A
