Can I use long log filenames in the logger?
Yes – but keep them simple so the text fits in the existing display fields. Using names that tell you what the contest is {2009janvhfss.lgg} {arrl_sept_qso.lgg} is helpful. Hint: COM port wiring connections: I wrote my first logger with CW keying in 1983. It used RTS for CW and DTR for PTT. In v3.2 and later, you may use the option that swaps these lines for CW and PTT. Q: Why is the CW irratic and garbled. A: 1) Other applications and firewalls can cause the same problems. I disconnect from the Internet and turn off other programs when necessary. 2) Do you have the keying weight set near 1.00 – it does not need to be set too far from 1.00 to work correctly. I use 1.10. 3) RF can get into the PC and keyboard via the connecting cables, which will trash the CW keying. 4) You ARE using a CW/PTT interface connected to the COM port – right? You cannot just connect the COM port pins to the CW key jack and PTT line! See CW interfaces in the HELP file. I don`t know if CW keying via the USB por

Let me know if a USB converter works. LPT via USB will not work for the band decoder connection. Only `printer class` devices are supported, not multi-function (and m
