[LOGic] A Problem & a Question

[jerry]

I just installed Logic 8 and have come up with a problem.   When I run 
the spot log (which I would like to do all the time), I'm getting  a 
high noise level on my FT-920.  For example today on 20 meters, without 
the spot log window open, my S meter was showing an ambient noise level 
of S4.  Just opening the spot log caused it to jump up to S7.  I put a 
ferrite core on the serial cable going to the cat port on the back of 
the rig, but that did not make any difference.  Also disconnected my 
line in and audio out cables going from the computer to rig and it made 
no difference.  Any thoughts on this?

Question-  I also use a FT-100 mainly for 2 meter FM & SSB.  I have it 
hooked up to logic on Com 2.  The only way logic recognizes it is if 
TRX-Manager is running also.  I really don't want to use TRX-Manager 
most of the time but would like logic interfaced as radio 2 with logic 
(both radios usable simultaneously).  Is running TRX-Manager the only 
way Logic will recognize the FT-100 as the second radio on it's own Com 
port (the FT-920 uses com 1).
