Hi Alex,

one of the two serial ports is probably opened by another application.

Hello Bill

This is the answer after execute the command:

C:\WSJT\wsjtx\bin>rigctld-wsjtx -m 3081 -r COM4 -s 19200 -p COM2 -P RTS -Cptt_share=1

Recommend using --vfo switch for rigctld if client supports it

rigctl and netrigctl will automatically detect vfo mode

rig_open: error = IO error

Hi Alex,

yes it will work exactly as you require.

    Hello Bill

    I must PTT a external sequencer via a COM port, I cannot use PTT
    via CAT because that will trigger the Radio 1^st , I must trigger
    the external sequencer via a COM port 1st, then the sequencer has
    4 events to manage antenna relays, preamps, bias in the SSPA and
    for last PTT the radio, if I use PTT via CAT that will destroy my
    preamplifiers.

    Your proposal will works?

    Hi Alex,

    OK, try this. Change "Settings->Radio->Rig" to "Hamlib NET rigctl"
    and "Settings->Radio->PTT Method" to "CAT" for each WSJT-X
    instance you run.

    Open a CMD prompt window and type the following command:

    C:\WSJT\wsjtx\bin\rigctld-wsjtx -m 3081 -r COMx -s y -p COMz -P RTS 
-Cptt_share=1

    where 'x' is the CAT serial port number of your IC-9700, 'y' is
    the CAT baud rate, and 'z' is the PTT serial port number.

    The above command starts a Hamlib rig control server to serve your
    IC-9700 with Hamlib clients over a network connection. The
    adjustment to WSJT-X radio settings tells WSJT-X to communicate
    with the rig control server you have started, and also to do PTT
    via that server. You may get a message from your firewall
    application to asking to allow rigctld-wsjtx to accept network
    connections, which you should allow.

    Do not start Omni-Rig, you do not need it.

    This will do exactly what you need, you can make a short batch
    script containing the above command to start the Hamlib rig
    control server.

    If you are only using a single instance of WSJT-X the next release
    of WSJT-X will allow you to configure that instance to talk
    directly to your for CAT control while allowing other applications
    to access the PTT port when WSJT-X is not asserting PTT. For now,
    or if you use multiple WSJT-X instances; the approach above will work.

        Hello Bill

        Yes I use only 1 CAT controller transmitter, the IC-9700, I
        don’t have any other CAT application accessing my Transceiver.

        Alex,

        let me try again as you have not answered my question. I will
        qualify it a bit which may help.

        Are you only using one CAT controlled transmitter and is that
        your IC-7900?

        Do you have any other applications that require CAT access to
        your transceiver(s)?

        Note by CAT control I do not mean simple PTT control using a
        serial port control line like RTS or DTR alone.
