[WriteLog] Key stays down

Sat Feb 7 14:04:47 EST 2004

I had everything set up all nice and pretty with my Yaesu Field but I am now 
trying to set up the Orion.
I get a constant key down when I key the on the DTR line (which I am using to 
key the CW). It will release when I manually hit the paddles. The Orion 
does not use the DTR line and Writelog uses it for computer generated keying.
Yes, I have the PTT on "no" both in the COMM PTT and the CW PTT. I have 
tried using com 1 from the serial port and com 4 from a USB to serial adapter. I 
have tried controlling both the rig and CW with the same port (which worked 
before). I have tried controlling the rig with one and the CW with the other. 
All the configurations will follow the rig but all of them give me a steady 
key down when I try to use the computer generated keying. All release when I 
manually hit the paddles. TUNE will release if I hit the ESC key and then the 
manual key.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
