the latest versions of Writelog do use ini files. To access them, you select import/export from the opening window that pops up when you start Writelog.

On FT8, if you use WSJT-X, you can use the WritelogADIlistener app to log contacts. Or a better was is to use DigiRite from within Writelog. That way it's fully integrated and knows mults/dupes because it's using the Writelog log file.

On my 9700, I use the USB connection for the audio codec and have a USB to CI-V cable plugged in to Remote for CAT. Rock Solid.

This is disappointing for me.   I've used Writelog since back pre-version 8.   
I love how it handles multiple rig inputs for VHF contests.  There is so much 
FT8 activity on VHF now,  to contest and not be able to work/log FT8 contacts 
is nearly as bad as not operating at all.    I may have to consider other 
contest logging options.

When you first go into Writelog on the right hand side you can EXPORT the INI 
file.

Two things.

1. The USB Cable must be very short -- this is an Icom problem.

2. In the [RIGS] section

Com3:=19200,n,8,2                 Com port that you are using BUT 2 Stop bits.

HELP !!!   VHF Contest is only 1-1/2 days away and I can't get my IC-9700 to

stay connected to Writelog.    I had version 12.6 and it wouldn't work, so I

purchased the latest (v12.66) and it still don't work.



When I configure the port settings in WL it connects, and the radio's

frequency and mode are displayed at the QSO entry window and follow manual

radio tuning as it should.  But after about 10 seconds, the QSO Entry window

changes to "No Rig".   I've tried several different baud rates with no

difference in the issue.



The radio is set to the default address, A2H and I don't see where I can

check or change that in WL.
