Locked Re: Ic-706 ptt not working #WSJTX_config

I'd put the 706 in FM and tune to an unused frequency at very low power,
maybe even on a dummy load, and see if I could hear the tones on an HT.

I would wager that either the audio is not outputting at the level you
think it is, or that the '706 is not configured to listen to the correct
input . . . (I know my Yaesu's an be odd this way . . .).

So, verify, somehow, that audio *is* present at the connector going to the
'706, and follow the issue accordingly. If nothing, dig in the PC, and if
it is present (and at an appropriate level), dig into the rig.

Tigertronics also might be worth a call, since they support this rig, and
may have some insights.

(This link will take you to thier setup notes as well:
https://www.tigertronics.com/sl_wirebm.htm Note that the '706, 706MK2,
and '706MK2G have some differences, and without digging back into the
groups.io web pages, I don't have your postings of your specific config
handy.)

Oh, and I do see a note at Tigertronics for the '706MK2G, that "Menu #29
muat be set to 1200" . . . not sure if that applies here or not. If all
else fails, call them - Inhave found them to be very helpful!

I dont need Starbucks, but you need a battery powered speaker to listen

Starbucks gift card to first person to help solve why tx under wsjtx
control is zero watts?!?

Signalink is a USB soundcard - it has not CAT capability.
You will need a separate USB to CI-V cable or USB to serial
cable with the Icom CT-17 CI-V converter for CAT.

That said, the IC-706 does not have the capability of switching
between TX/RX by CAT/CI-V Command. You will need to turn on the
PTT function in your SignaLink and set WSJTX for VOX. See the
SignaLink documentation.

However in wsjtx ptt doesn't work and I can't transmit. What setup on
rig or wsjtx is wrong? See pics.
