Totally in agree with Tom
I delete part of my previous email to avoid start arguments BUT in IT we always said “never touch a running system” and for programming also apply, why change the previous default for something doesn’t works? And create just problems? PTT and associated routines was working great up to WSJT-X 2.2.2, why change that?, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, for sure exist a valid reason by “the authors” but unfortunate this time maybe wrong.

It seems a LOT of the errors recently seem to be because HamLib have altered defaults and others have to pick up the flack. It always used to be the case ’never alter the default’ - yes add new features but never change the default. There has been the issue of powering rigs on - default changed, shared ptt - default changed. There are more than a ‘couple of complains’ on this mailing list alone to keep the status quo. Please Please Please DO NOT start to toss the blame around - oh it up to xyz to change their software to over-ride the changes we made. Just keep defaults as they were and all will be happy.

So it was changed to support the simple case and those that want the more complex case of multiple apps have to use the additional file as WSJT-X authors have decided to not include any options in the rig control user interface. I'm looking at the sharing now to see if there is a problem going on.

I run 4 WSJT-X at the same time, I use Omnirig to control my IC9700 but PTT is manage via a COM port, this is a must for me to TX first a Sequencer via the COM port and later TX the radio, I cannot use CAT for PTT, that guarantee me no RF spikes etc. 4 WSJT-X plus MAP65 plus WSJT10 are all configure to use COM3 for PTT, in this configuration I can TX with ANY of the 6 programs, more precise I can TX with the program were the decodes or best decode happens, unfortunate since WSJT-X 2.3 and 2.4RC1 I can TX ONLY with the FIRST program who opens the PTT COM port, the other ones don’t work and MAP65 give a opening COM port ERROR, the other WSJT-X simple don’t TX, would be great to fix this bug because when you run multiple WSJT-X is a must to work with all instance capable of TX, WSJT-X 2.2.2 works perfect. To confirm this bug I roll back to 2.2.2 and install 2.3 and later 2.4RC1, the bug appear in 2.3 73 de Alex, HB9DRI _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
