When first starting WL, with the radio sitting on 50099, the WL Radio button in
the QSO Entry window showing "3500 kHz CW" and then within a second or two it
goes over to "kHz CW", no frequency.
I can enter a frequency under the call portion of the Log Entry and the radio
will go to that frequency, it will display the frequency entered but when
rotating the dial it does not change.
ON this computer the Silicon Labs Enhanced COM Port is Com7. In Device
Manager, Ports (COM & LPT), Property, Advanced there is the ability to slow
down the Receive and Transmit Buffers. I tried to reduce this setting to first
3/4 scale and then half scale, but it appeared to have no effect on the problem
at hand so I have put them back to default. Under the Port Setting I tried
setting the Bits per second to 19200 but it did not have any effect either.
BTW I reboot the computer between each change.
IDK it is driving me crazy!

Jim:
Bring up the Band Map. Right click in the Entry window and bring it up. Just
the Band Map only and not Band Map on 2nd VFO
Let us know if the Band Map frequency display changes as you dial the VFO. In
other words, does it track the frequency up and down as you dial it.

Yes, typing the frequency in the call entry will change and actually display it
properly, but it will not change when I tune the VFO... and I can enter
another frequency this way and it will change in the WL displayed.
Joe/K4TV, I do have the radio in VFO mode as indicated by the A on the display.

Can you type in
7000 in the call entry field, hit enter and the radio frequency changes to
7000??
If not, the link isn't working
If yes, ....hummm

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?
