Hi Bill,

The issue I am seeing is timeouts on commands that take longer than WSJTX allows.
While working with a Hamlib CMD I for instance I captured the following using the WSJTX loging feature…..
[2021-04-28 02:42:47.983260][00:00:30.484853][RIGCTRL:trace] 0000 49 20 31 34 34 31 37 34 30 30 30 2e 30 30 30 30 I 144174000.0000
[2021-04-28 02:42:47.983276][00:00:30.484869][RIGCTRL:trace] 0010 30 30 0a 00.
[2021-04-28 02:42:47.983292][00:00:30.484884][RIGCTRL:trace] read_string called, rxmax=96
[2021-04-28 02:42:48.984465][00:00:31.486061][RIGCTRL:warning] read_string(): Timed out 1.001 seconds after 0 chars
[2021-04-28 02:42:48.984550][00:00:31.486143][RIGCTRL:debug] rig.c(3382):rig_set_split_freq return(-5)
[2021-04-28 02:42:48.984588][00:00:31.486181][RIGCTRL:debug] rig.c(3899):rig_set_split_freq_mode return(-5)
[2021-04-28 02:42:48.984604][00:00:31.486197][RIGCTRL:error] error: Communication timed out
WSJTX indicates it is timing out before my code and Hamlib get back with a reply. I reduced the amount of code I had active in the CMD I instruction and the the time issue goes away.
This is what led to my comment. I feel the timing requirements of a command like this are not critical. I know there has to be a time limit of some sort in WSJTX to cover the non responsive commands issued but this limit should be extended to give more latitude
to user. How much time is needed, maybe 3 to 5 seconds. My code is on the edge now so if the timeout doubled it would help.
The error message seems like a generic error message which may be sent for more than one reason, this is just my observation and not a problem.
I am working here to get everything done within the time limits needed by WSJTX. It would help me though and possible others if the timing needs were relaxed a bit on non critical commands. I wanted to get the comment out there before the evaluation of the
current version completed.
Thanks for all your efforts in making WSJTX a great package and helping the community. We are lucky to have your support!

Also don't touch the main WSJT-X.ini file, that's the settings for the application and is managed from the GUI, the log configuration file is separate and only for diagnostic purposes. There are some sample log configuration files in the installation directory (C:\WSJT\wsjtx\share\doc\wsjtx\example_log_configurations\) if and when you need them. With no log configuration file in place the log entries go to the file wsjtx_syslog.log in your WSJT-X log files directory and size is managed automatically by rotating the file monthly or if it gets too big. Use specific log configuration files for specific issues, the default logging will record warnings and errors without you needing to do anything. 73 |

Even so, I would like to install the file you attached to trap any issues I see in future. But, I not sure how to install it. I open the wsjtx log file directory and I see WSJTX.ini do I add this file to that file or do I just copy the attachment to this directory and have two ini files? Thanks for your help, Bill...K5ZQ |

If you're running a IC-705 and WSJT-X on a Raspberry, it's done automatically from the built in GPS.David - does this only work with a ic-705? Can you give a quick write-up of your code? Thank you. |

Re: WSJT-X running with Omnirig?
#Cat_RigControl
Hi Jamie.
I do have a FT991A and plan on using it in the near future for digital stuff (I have periodically done so) and I know that 2 comports are generated after loading the CP210x drivers.. But right now I am working with the TS-590s. Only 1 comport is generated (in my case Com3) So. Ok now.... Which Comport did you split? And which comport did you assign to WSJT-X and ACLog... AND HOW about JTAlert.? .. I understand one can connect it to WSJT-X to make a bridge to ACLog I have loaded JTAlert in the past but found it a bit cumbersome... Maybe the newer version will get, my attention I am going to check it out. Ok.. Question of the DAY: You said you "did" use it... Does that mean you no longer use the configuration? WHY did you discontinue use the configurations.? -- 73 Mike 73 |

Hi Bill,
I sent you an email regarding UDP msg 11 not working.
I just looked at the WSJT-X settings page and noticed the "AutoGrid" check box.
I did not have that checked. As soon as I checked it, my function worked perfectly.
Please disregard my previous email.
I would suggest that you highlight that functionality and requirement in your help
manual as that information is missing. Best regards, Sam W2JDB

A reminder for anyone who hasn't already visited. Here are a number of notes and various downloadable PIC microcontroller code for implementing these modes as beacon sources, directly driving a DDS or Fractional-N synthesizer as the RF generator Andy |

If you're running a IC-705 and WSJT-X on a Raspberry, it's done automatically from the built in GPS. There's also a feature to use a cheap GPS dongle connected to the Raspberry to get accurate time and grip. Check out KM4ACK channel on youtube for more info.

Re: WSJT-X running with Omnirig?

Hi Mike, I did use VSPE and Omnirig with WSJT-X, JTALERT and AC Log for a long time with great success. I was able to have both WSJT-X and AC Log both follow and control my FT 991A. Easy to jump from Digital to phone modes and log quickly!

WSJT-X running with Omnirig?
#Cat_RigControl
Hey Group...
Has anyone had any luck or experience running WSJT-x via VSPE and Omnirig, using a virtual Com Port.? I have been trying all kinds of configurations, none seem to work... I have heard from hams that say "oh yeah that works great"..later to find out they never really have gotten it working. . My goal (if possible) is to have... WSJT-x, ACLog ( I understand it is not compatible with Omnirig and needs to be its own non shared port, but connected to WSJT-x) a Winkeyer gizmo running on Aclog for keyboard CW, and an SDRplay rsp1 running SDRuno... 73 Mike 73 |

I was pleased to see that the above file includes the gridsquares for both MY location and the other stations's location ;-) I am about to start a month-long road trip across the country, and hope to be active on 6m from many different gridsquares. Having both these gridsquares in wsjtx_log.adi will really help keep track of where I was when I made the contacts. That assumes that I remember to update the grid in WSJT-X's FILE/SETTINGS/GENERAL page every time I drive into a new gridsquare!
I can imagine that FT8 rovers during contests and FFMA grid activators would also appreciate it if there were some option in WSJT-X to have "My Grid" be updated automatically from some other program, or directly from a GPS puck attached to another USB port...

With the latest version of WSJT-X and a Kenwood TS890s which worked fine with ver 2.2 and before worked fine I get the following error at all data rates:
Hamlib error: command rejected by rig
kenwood_open:cannot get ndentifaction
kenwood.c(853):kenwood open return (-9)
rig.c(985):rig_open return(-9) while opening connection to rig
Any ideas about how to fix this error would be appreiated. |

Do what I did, on 222 MHz and higher, for FT8: pick a frequency and see if it catches on.
