Hello Bill

 

I can omit to work with Omnirig BUT the IC-9700 config embedded in WSJT-X have 
the same behavior that the PTT, only the 1st WSJT-X instance can manage, the 
only way to have SHARE CAT com port was using Omnirig.

 

Regards

Alex, HB9DRI

Hi Alex,

 

thanks for that.

 

OK, I now understand what is happening. The Hamlib configuration overrides do 
not currently apply when using any form of CAT control other than Hamlib, 
including via Omni-Rig. I will change that for the next release.

 

Another option is not to use Omni-Rig, which may be dependent on other 
applications you use. The Hamlib rigctld (which we ship a version of with 
WSJT-X called rigctld-wsjtx) also supports the PTT sharing configuration option.

Hello Bill

 

Sorry but the file you send me is exact to the code propose by Mike, the code 
is the same and I copied in ALL WSJT-X instances I have and I cannot share the 
PTT port.

 

My config in Radio tab in ALL WSJT-X instances:

 

For RIG: I use Omni Rig 2 where CAT is configure over a separate port, this 
works ok ( I never succeed to use the IC-9700 option in WSJT-X)

For PTT: I use com port 2 RTS, that works good v2.2.2 or in 2.3 and 2.4rc1 if 
only one instance open the port

Mode: None

Split Operation: RIG

 

I don’t use CAT for PTT because I need to PTT first my sequencer, then the 
sequencer PTT the radio as last event.

Hi Alex,

 

the file I sent was different from the text Mike suggested.

 

What settings are you using on the "Settings->Radio" tab of your WSJT-X 
instances?

Hello Bill

 

The file you send me has the same code send to me from the beginning, I delete 
the file I create and I confirm your file was installed into the log directory 
in each WSJT-X instance I had, doesn’t work.

 

To confirm the problem I install in another computer two WSJT-X and use your 
file and doesn’t work.

 

As you mention in one of your last emails you will back in the next release to 
sharing the PTT port, something make totally sense if you consider it was 
working ok in version 2.2.2.

Hi Alex,

 

the file I attached was the correct one. Others have used it without issues. 
Please double check the file is correctly named and has not been mangled by 
Windows in some way. Note the file name must be hamlib_settings.json

Hello Bill

 

Following your instructions I use your file  (looks the same as I use before) 
and I place in the properly log directory for each of the WSJT-X (totally 4) 
and doesn’t work, the PTT is not share.

 

I wonder why if in WSJT-X 2.2.2 the PTT com port was share by default now is 
not?

Hi Alex,

 

try the attached file. It needs to go in the log files directory of each WSJT-X 
instance ("Settings->File->Open log directory").

Hello Mike

 

Sorry I didn’t answer to the list;

 

I create a file named hamlib_settings.json and paste inside the code you send 
me:

 

{

     "config": {

            "ptt_share": 1

     }

}

 

Then place this file in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\WSJT-X and in 

Each of the 4 WSJT-X folders but doesn’t work,

The PTT port is no longer shareable by default.

 

Place this file in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\WSJT-X

 

{

     "config": {

            "ptt_share": 1

     }

}

Just to inform you, I found a bug regarding COM port for PTT, it appears in 
WSJT-X 2.3 and in 2.4 RC1, let me explain.

 

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
