[Elecraft] Using WriteLog to control KDVR3

[Fabio IZ4AFW / NZ1W]

Hi Jack,
    sorry for the delay.
I checked the problem... but here it works with Writelog 10.84D.

1) I have the following:

[Elecraft_K3_commands]
Macro_10=SWT21;

in the \WINDOWS\Writelog.ini file. I am using Win XP. I don't think its 
position inside the file could change the behavior, as long as you put 
it all together.

2) In Writelog, click on Tools / Keyboard shortcuts and assign the F01 
key to Rig1Command(n) and put 10 in the Rig Command Number field.

3) Please check that your Elecraft K3 is configured as Rig #1 in the 
Setup / Ports menu. This means that it has to be the first line in the 
window, and that the serial port has to be the correct one.

I hope that this can resolve your problems!

73 & Ciao,
Fabio
