[WriteLog] MK and IC 706

Sat Apr 28 21:33:32 EDT 2007

Hey George, thanks for the help!
Unfortunately, this did not seem to resolve the problem. 
I changed the control to Com2 (made sure the baud rate were the same) and moved the 
WinKey to Com4... 
No real change. 
However I did notice that I don't get a orange led on the MK. In fact until I hit a function key 
or key the mic I don't get any led indication. When I hit a function key, I get a red led on both 
the CW/RTTY and PTT1/PTT2... 
On the Router, I do get an indication on the port page that it is reading the frequency from the 
IC706MKII (no G on this model). When I hit the WinKey TEST button, I get the TEST in 
CW.. So it seems that Router is working fine. 
Any suggestions?
