Okay, this is embarrassing, but I had to add a contact to my log that I apparently missed logging during a torrid run on 6 meters. After adding the QSO by editing the log file, my log is saved in rich text format, and doesn’t work anymore in the program. I didn’t have an option to save it as an adif, and can’t figure out what would be the best program/file to convert the rtf or comma delimited file back to an adif log file. Any help would be appreciated. I can’t import my wsjt-x log into my logging program (DXLab) until I fix this. Apologies for asking a question that’s probably been asked before…
73, Steve K4WA

Split "Rig" has always worked with FTdx-5000. Split "Fake it" has not. This libhamlib-4.dll works on 'fake it' so far.

I came across a problem using 2.6.0. In an SO2R Environment, one of the EWs will crash. Everything will be going fine, then all of a sudden one of the EWs will crash with an error message. I can be mousing something, or the mouse will be totally still, and the EW will crash. When it crashes, it produces an error message: "Something unexpected caused WSJT to close the Radio TCP port unexpectedly. Please try restarting WSJT again. If that does not work restart N1MM." Starting WSJT again does not restore operation. Once this happens, going into Task Manager and killing the orphan JT9 also doesn't work. The only way I've found to get WSJT to work again is to restart the computer. Is this a known problem? I've seen a couple of other references to this in other postings. I can submit the files if you would like to see this further, or if its been addressed in the Hamlib you're sending out now I can test it there. Thank you for your work! Dennis W1UE

Hi Daniel,

You should take into account that WSJT-X only amends the log file and does not read it continuously. If you want to have an up to date indication of the worked before stations in both computers, then there is no support in WSJT-X for multiple instances. WSJT-X reads the log file only at program start and manually using the Rescan ADIF Log button in the Colors window. An external logging program that can accept logging information from multiple sources could be a working solution. I am not familiar on those. If you want just a log file for the records, then there has been discussions how that could be done using operating system settings. I have not followed all details on that discussion. 73, Reino OH3mA

I've been running 42% on 6 meters without problems (power meter says I'm only putting out 32watts, but ...) All other bands are at 32% (20 watts on the meter), so i guess I should adjust 6 meters downward, huh? .... ok, Wilco Gwen KI5PXQ

The IC-706 radio family has a 6 pin MiniDIN connector on the rear panel which is described on page 37 of the user manual. It passes unbalanced AF Output, unbalanced Data In, and a PTT control input.
If your data interface unit has a VOX/PTT output line, use that line for PTT and turn off the radio internal VOX. Be sure you set menu 29 for 1200 bps, which enables analog transmit audio input. 1200 is NOT the default value, so whenever you reset the radio you will have to change menu 29 back to 1200! The CR-282 High Stability (0.5 PPM) crystal option is quite desirable, especially if you also operate on 2M or 70 cm simplex. It takes a few minutes to stabilize after power-on, while your computer software is booting up. Last, DO NOT run more than 35% of rated output power on FTx, RTTY, PSK, or any other continuously keyed modes on any band. Both the HF and VHF final RF transistors are very expensive to replace and PC boards are unobtainium. An external fan won't keep the radio cool enough to let you exceed that power level. Been there, done that, paid Icom service some big bucks! -- Karl WA8NVW OH WA8NVW@... in WSJTX@groups.io

For a test try turning the power slider all the way down and see if it keys at the end of the transmission.

Yeah, the 706 has CIV control but not PTT. Using a USB/CIV converter, you

can control frequency, mode, split, etc. If you don't add anything for PTT you can use VOX to make it work. Been there, done that. Vy 7 3 Earl KD5XB

PTT is available through ACC connector that also contains AF in and AF out. For PTT a simple one transistor/fet interface is needed and in WSJT-X RST or DTR will be used for PTT. If your computer has a RS-232 interface then it is the same as used for CAT. A USB - RS232 interface works in the same manner.
