Mike, I've been using the free LP-Bridge software with my Windows 7 system for many years with my Elecraft K3. The K3 is connected to LP-bridge which creates multiple virtual ports. The K3 can simultaneously connect to WSJT-X, N1MM, MMTTY, DX Lab suite's Launcher and Commander applications.
For non-K3 radios, you can use LPB2. I understand that both LP Bridge and LPB2 also works with Windows 8. I read that they can be used with Windows 10 but not with Ham radio Deluxe (HRD) software, which uses Unicode. You can read more about LP Bridge and LPB2 at: http://www.telepostinc.com/LPB.html 73, Rich - K1HTV = = = From: "Deisher, Michael" <michael.deis...@intel.com> To: WSJT software development <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Cc: Bcc: Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2019 17:37:01 +0000 Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Reading SWR from rig 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. 73, Mike KK7ER
