[DXLog.net - Support] DXlog.net with PowerSDR and CW Skimmer?

I don't think this is is a DXLog.net problem, so we probably should take
his offline.

In PowerSDR you defined

*Keyer Tab*
Primary:  Radio (what does this mean, for paddles?  You're not using
paddles.  The FlexRadio documentation is very unclear about what this all
means.  It says set it to 5000 to use external serial port).
Secondary: CAT
PTT Line:  RTS
KEY Line: DTR

*CAT Control Tab*
CAT:  COM16
PTT:  COM14 (RTS)

But why didn't you select the same port for both here (COM16)?

In DXLog.net you defined:

Radio type:  Kenwood (HF) (this may not work, you may have to use OmniRig,
specially since CW Skimmer can *only* use OmniRig).

[x] Use CAT PTT command on Phone   (Please uncheck this, it may be
confusing things)

CAT:  COM3
CW:  COM3 (DTR)
PTT:  COM3 (RTS)

How can you use the same port for all three functions when you told
PowerSDR to use *different* ports for CAT and CW/PTT (in the CAT Control
Tab).

In DDUtil you set:

Radio:  COM6

and no other mappings that I can see.   Why isn't it COM3?  There is no way
this can work until everything matches.  Right now, it doesn't match at all.

Assuming COM16 is "connected" to COM6, you need to tell DXLog.net to use
COM6 instead of COM3.  Otherwise tell DDUtil to use COM3 instead of COM6.

And in PowerSDR you need to tell it to use COM16 RTS for PTT, not COM14.
