I am running WSJT-X , Ham Radio Deluxe, and JTalert on a Windows 10 laptop. All functions work. The only issue is that JTalert closes after logging each contact. I have to restart Jtalert after every

For what it's worth, I did manage to modify the wsjt-x source code locally to display the DXCC name for all band activity, not just the stations calling CQ. I also changed the CQ color highlighting

I've experienced several ham applications that do not exit cleanly. Some may not release a COM port, while others may not release CAT control. I always stress to be sure and close the

As to time servers, I've not found Windows 10 system for time to be satisfactory. I've installed and use Meinberg NTP. Works great and I don't find that Windows updates to disable the

Did the previous program release the COM port? That may be the issue. I'd shut everything down, restart the computer (do not shut down as it actually does a hibernation save of the

Good point, may consider but think adjusting the time server polling will take care of this. More after I try.

And he could use a cheap USB GPS dongle and BKTtimesync or similar. Bob - wd6dod

FYI

That’s true would work, but I always wonder at the point you have this kind of issue what else needs a reset and hence I tend to reboot. The big advantage of doing what John suggests is if you had

There is a way to accomplish release of the port without rebooting. Open Device Manager, right-click the proper port and select Disable. Right-click again and select Enable. Ignore any message about

sorry I misspoke, I thought from reading the specs of the 991 that an SCU17 was required. Reading it again, the SCU17 is integrated into the unit. Perhaps then also probably gives HRD the ability to

Merry Christmas. I recently loaded MMSSTV to receive the ISS. I also used the RT systems to safe the memories. All seemed fine but now WSJT is reporting a Hamlib error. Tried everything (obviously

I disagree.. It is perfectly "best" to use the direct USB on the rig, to USB on the computer technique on the FT991a. There is absolutely no reason to use an external sound card, unless you want to

The Time.IS App only compares one’s computer clock to a time standard. My iPhone just compared as 0.044 seconds fast. It does not correct computer settings. I use Meinberg NTP to maintain

Interesting regarding HRD. I use a single USB cable between my radio and my computer to operate AFSK, PSK-31 and CW. Two of these are audio modes and CAT control. All at the same time too. Bob,

It's the old "double click" problem... Set your Windows mouse action to single click to initiate apps.... And only click once..... I had the same issue for the longest time, until someone on the

Marty- confirm your time accuracy at https://time.is HRD gives you CAT control, but has nothing to do with the audio. Dan KC2STA -- Dan Ziolkowski KC2STA SKCC #4290T Ubuntu LINUX

Head to the website time.is, it will show you the difference between actual time and your computer's time. It does not do any reset of the time, which is why the WSJT-X Windows

Thanks Dan, I am actually connecting via a USB cable with appropriate chokes on both ends rather than sound cards and HRD which also uses that connection seems to be fine with it. I did decide since
