Will writelog work as contest logger for SO2R and Flex

Kari Gustafsson SM0HRP · July 2017

N1MM works well with Flex and in SO2R we know. However, it is lacking SO2R with Morserunner simulation. Dx Log has it but advanced SO2R has some bugs. I know a new release soon will adress this. I just saw that Writelog has implemented a new Morserunner with SO2R capabilities. But has anyone out there got Writelog to work satisfactory with Flexradio? And in SO2R mode?

I can't answer your specific question, but Wayne, the author of Writelog has written specific additions for the Flex, so I wouldn't be surprised if he is working on this if it's not already done.

Yes it will, In fact WL has native flex integration. I am not a big WL fan, but I know others that are using it regularly.

I'm running WriteLog successfully with SDR-Bridge and Smart-SDR. However, I only have a Flex-6300 so cannot run SO2R.

Thanks for input. But judging some recent posts here it seems that SO2R is not fully tested after all or only SO1V?

Kari,

I don't have the specific information because it's been a while since I've tried the Flex 6700/Writelog/SO2R combo.

Last contest season I switched to N1MM as it handles the Flex and SO2R very well.

Writelog had issues (this is from what I recall) with not un-muting a slice when going back to that slice. I had to use my mouse to un-mute the slice.

I discussed this with Wayne, he was aware of the issue, however, he wasn't sure when he would get it resolved.

I prefer Writelog because I've used it for several years and I understand how it works.

N1MM is a very good program but it's been a new learning curve due to all of the cool features.

Ok thanks for the input. Well I am really looking for a solution that both works in "simulation" mode as real life. Pitty N1MM does not support dual SO2R with Morserunner. I tried downloading the Writelog demo with the contest simulator but the learning curve might be too steep

There is a recently updated WriteLog rig driver for the Flex-6000 series. Prior versions of WriteLog's driver do not work well with SmartSDR 2. http://writelog.com/category/flexradio-rig-driver

regarding issues with the WriteLog demo (which fully supports the Flex, by the way) and the contest super simulator, try either an email to support@writelog.com or read or post to the WriteLog email reflector, which you can browse at http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/WriteLog/

Hi Wayne,
I have just tested it but cannot get any CW sidetone generated from it. I am experimenting with the Contest Simulator but I am "stuck" with no CW being generated. Pitty it seems to be a nice logger with simulator. 73 Kari SM0HRP

OK now things works very well. Thanks for great support.

Does the writelog support two keyboards

Kari Gustafsson SM0HRP · July 2018

I doubt it does. I have not seen it been mentioned when working with SO2R. I found this answer from Wayne at Writelog to same question in 2016 “It has come to my attention that N1MM logger now has a beta supporting input from two separate keyboards and I have been asked whether WriteLog will support that, too. My answer is: I'll consider it when someone uses that feature to even approach W2SC's results.”
