Thanks for the quick reply, Bill. Do you (or any others on the list) have any recommendations for implementing this "below" wsjtx? In my current setup, wsjtx seems to "lock" the serial device so that other apps (e.g., flrig) cannot access it. It makes sense, but I remember reading about people experimenting with virtual serial devices and such that allow multiple applications to share the rig. This seems a bit fraught with potential issues (e.g., two masters with conflicting commands) but could allow simple things like reading/displaying status information.

Basically if it can't be done for all we are not going to support it unless it is a must-have feature for WSJT-X operation. 73 Bill G4WJS. _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
