Hello Bill

 

Thank you very much for your effort trying to fix the problematic of hundreds 
of Adaptive Polarization users, unfortunate in the mind of Joe Taylor is just 
ME and my egoism who is motivating my request, 

 

I have enough!!

 

Please forget everything  regarding the sharing port, we will find our way to 
do that, for the rest thank you for your professional support and if in any of 
my emails I disturb you or offend you sorry was not my intention.

 

Wish you all the best

 

Alex Artieda, HB9DRI

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.

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

Hello Bill

 

I must PTT a external sequencer via a COM port, I cannot use PTT via CAT 
because that will trigger the Radio 1st, 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.
