Have you tried changing the interface baud rate to say 9600? I have had
intermittent problems when the baud rate was higher. I run everything in the
shack at 9600 now.

No sir!  I don't think it is, because I can spin the dial and the frequency
changes on the radio but not WL.  Actually, it is fully functional with
another logging program.

Is it possible you have the dial "locked" on the rig itself?  Unlock it, if
it is.

I had that happen to me before.

I am having some trouble setting up the rig control for a FT-891 using
Writelog 12.59F.

I selected FT-991 from the Rig Type and the enhanced port on my laptop which
is Com7, baud rate 19200 that matches the radio menu setting, poll checked
and Comm PTT NO.  

I can enter a frequency in the QSO entry window and it will move the radio
to that frequency and display the frenquency properly.  But turning the VFO
know does not have any effect on the displayed frequency.  

Anybody, have any suggestion for this?
