Hi Jesse…I have an illustrated step-by-step for the workings of Winkeyer and an IC-7300….you may not have that radio but the Winkeyer part will set you straight. So as I don’t clog up your

Hi Thomas, Thanks for your e-mail. There is no need to open Winkeyer from the CW set up form (and as you observed, when you exit the form it is close again anyway). The same open code is called when

Sounds good Roy. You won't be sorry. Using software specifically designed for each contest really adds to the ease and the fun! Enjoy! 73, Scott N3FJP http://www.n3fjp.com Serving the Amateur Radio

Thanks Scott, that's the answer to the "problem" if it AC Log doesn't automatically open/connect to winkeyer on startup. Just went down to the shack and verified that once AC Log opens I can hit F1

A friend of mine has a keyer that emulates winkeyer; it makes ba-deep and ba-doop sounds whenever it gets "opened" or "closed". Here's what I've observed: Opening the CW setup window closes the

Mine is interesting too. I have to go into the WinKeyer setup everytime I boot up and set the com port. Otherwise I can't open WinKeyer in the logger! Doesn't look like a log program issue,

Scott, As always, thanks for your quick answer. I now understand that many contests have different Cabrillo formats. Call me lazy, but I figured I could use my ACL software on Field Day, rather

Hi Jesse, No, you have to send at least one character from the main form (even if you previously opened the CW set up form), to initiate connection. 73, Scott N3FJP http://www.n3fjp.com Serving the

Thanks Scott, I will continue to experiment this evening. Does AC log not automatically reconnect to the winkeyer when it opens?

Hi Jesse, Thanks for your follow up. Yes, first send a character to ensure the software is connected to Winkeyer. You should then be able to use the up and down arrow keys after first sending a

Thanks for the reply Scott. Yes, I see the yellow box with the speed changing as I press the arrow keys, it just doesn’t actually change the Meyer speed after the program opens up again until info

Hi Jesse, Thanks for your e-mail. The up and down arrow keys from the main form should control your Winkeyer Mini's speed. Make sure the main form has focus, that the software is in CW mode and that

Got the WKmini today and am using it with AC Log. I can go into the setup and get everything working and control the speed with the up/down arrow keys on the keyboard but when I exit the program it

Hi Roy, First, why don’t you all use the FD software. Also – you do not need a Cabrillo File. A Dupe Sheet is sufficient, which you can generate from ACLog. ACLog does not generate a

Hi Roy, Thanks for your e-mail. Instead of AC Log, this is the program that you should be using for Field Day: http://www.n3fjp.com/fieldday.html More details are here: Can I use AC Log to create a

Scott, Our club Field Day chairman has asked members, working from home on Field Day, to send him their log file from their home logging software, as a Cabrillo file. I am a bit surprised to find

Hi Guys, At worse case, on a REALLY slow machine over a network, it should not take more than 100 milliseconds to complete the logging sequence. Saving to a local drive will be much faster than

I don't think it's your PC. You have a rocket ship compared to my horse and wagon and I didn't make any changes to my anti-virus program (TotalAV) so I doubt it's that, either. I'd also get the

Thank y'all for your replies. I failed to mention that I get a box telling me that ACL had not properly logged the previous contact and that I have a contact that has not been logged yet.when I try

I suspect the space in the file name is the problem. See what happens when you remove it. 73, Doug Thompson, W5DET
