Hi Alex,
it seems we need some diagnostics from the Hamlib rig control server to
see why it cannot access your rig's CAT port or you PTT serial port. Try
this command to start the server:
C:\WSJT\wsjtx\bin>rigctld-wsjtx -m 3081 -r COM4 -s 19200 -p COM2 -P RTS
-Cptt_share=1 -vvvvv
This will provide a lot of diagnostic output, you can redirect the
output to a file by modifying the command like this:
C:\WSJT\wsjtx\bin>rigctld-wsjtx -m 3081 -r COM4 -s 19200 -p COM2 -P RTS -Cptt_share=1
-vvvvv 1> rigctld.log 2>&1
that will create a log file in your current working directory called
rigctld.log, send that file for analysis please?

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?

COM port
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

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.
