Your first posting said that you had been using WSJt-X for a fairly long time using the USB cable for both audio and CAT control. If the only change you want to make is to use VOX instead of PTT, the only thing you need to change in WSJT-X is the PTT setting - change it from CAT to VOX. Everything else can stay the same.
However, you also said you wanted to run multiple instances of WSJT-X. That's a different matter, and PTT/VOX is only a small part of it. If you try to run more than one instance of WSJT-X, only the first instance will be able to use CAT control. Any other instances will not be able to open the serial port used to control the radio, so they will not have CAT control of any kind, including not only PTT control, but also frequency and mode control. JT9 uses CAT control not only for PTT, but also for frequency control (split operation, and/or specific frequencies for different modes on various bands). The instance you use for JT9 and similar modes should probably have full CAT control. WSPR, on the other hand, does not really need CAT control once you have tuned the transceiver to the correct frequency for the band. So I'd suggest creating a second instance of WSJT-X that does not have CAT control implemented at all, with PTT using VOX and Split Operation set to None. Use that second non-CAT instance for WSPR. 73, Rich VE3KI K6FOD wrote: I was specifically wondering about entries on WSJT-X's Settings > Radio page: -- At the top of the page, is anything filled in for "Rig"? -- The lefthand side of the page has the heading "CAT Control," so is anything entered here (serial port, baud rate, data/stop bits, DTR/RTS, etc)? -- On the righthand side of the page, I assume "VOX" is selected as PTT method. What choices are selected for Mode and for Split Operation? ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
