WSJTX settings

Greetings!

First post from a new K3 owner.

Trying to get the CAT portion of WSJT working. I’ll worry with the audio later. Have communicated with K3 via Utility on Com 4.

On my PC I have WSJT set for K3, correct port, 38400, 8-1-none, CAT, Data/Pkt, split none. Is there a menu item somewhere on the K3 that I need to check and alter? Mode is set to DATA.

Thank you,

Steve

PS: WSJTX on this computer is working fine with my IC7100.

Re: WSJTX settings

Welcome to the list and to the K3.

I had similar problems yesterday and it was something I am have
experienced before. I had a logging program running that uses
the CAT interface, and WSJT does not share well. Quitting the
logging program made things work again. My only problem is
soreness from kicking myself in the butt.

Is something not working? What happens if you press the "Test CAT" button?

Oh, and I assume your radio is set for 38400 baud too.

That depends on which logging program too, N1MM (and others) for example
assumes control of the radio. In those cases, they cannot be running if
you want native WSJT-X to control the rig.

I use HRD for control and logging; within WSJT-X I have HRD set as the
rig (so even if I switch to another radio, it still works too). WSJT-X
can also load directly into the logging program of HRD (if you use for
example Win3K3 for rig control with HRD logging). They all play nicely
together.

Problem solved. As always with Windows, a driver issue.

Making FT8 QSOs on 40 @ 10 watts.
