I'm on that frequency, but with a poor antenna. I try to receive.

Locked Use of hardware com port 1 causes WSJT-X to throw and error... #wsjt-x-crashing

NO9B
 

Good Day:
I didn't see a solution for this topic.
I have tried using PSTRotator and DXSuite-DXView to control my rotor using COM port 1 which is a DB9 on the back of the computer, the radio is an IC7300 plugged in using the USB cable.
If I bring up the rotor program and command it to move the rotor WSJT-X will crash asking me to reconnect which I cannot.
The only way I can get WSJT-X to connect to the radio again is to reboot the computer.
Killing the offending program doesn't help.

Suggestions?

Thanks
Steve

Hi Dave,

These settings work for me.

I start WSJT-X first, then JTAlert, and N3FJP ACLog last.
I've used this setup to log WSJT-X FT4 and FT8 QSO's directly into N3FJP ACLog for several years now.
One PC uses Windows 7 and the other PC uses Windows 10. Both work fine.

YMMV !

Here's my setup

WSJT-X:
Under Logging,,, check the boxes for Prompt me to log QSO, dB reports to comments, Clear DX call and grid after logging
Under Network Services,,,check the box for Enable PSK Reporter Spotting
Under UDP Server,,,,,
UDP Server = 224.0.0.1
UDP Server port number 2237
Outgoing interfaces,,,,Drop down and check all boxes

Check all boxes to the right

N3FJP:

Check the box for Listen for WSJT-X

One more question, when I try to open the wsjtx_log.adi file where (I think) my new logs are stored I get a message that my MacBook Pro does not have software to open the file. I then got directed to the Apple App Store and I downloaded some recommended software that has nothing to do with opening this .adi file. Does this sound right? How can I open this file? Many thanks!

I have ACL and WSJT-X working. Just go to the N3FJP website the instructions work fine. Also ACLOG must be running for it to work.

Locked Re: IC-705 - sudden problems #Icom

Hi Terry

As Mike told he needs to know more about CAT-control related issues as the error message is generated with a low power and related to SWR measurement.
We may need to know how SWR measurement is actually done. I assume that you are using IC-705 for that.

Some comments inline.

I am testing to a telescopic vertical mounted on a three plate mag mount on a 1/2 sq metre of steel with some 15ft radials hanging vertically. I was running at 1% power.
The power is so low that it is not the RFI reason, if system fails only on the SWR measurement.

You said "radials hanging vertically". Is your 1/2 sq metre steel in an elevated location and are those radials hanging close to the feedline? You did not mentioned any current balun, have you got one at the feedpoint? It may not be needed, if you can make QSOs using a higher power.

HOWEVER, as I went back to the setup to see if I could find other error messages, I unplugged and then reconnected the usb cable (which has ferrites) and it now appears to be fine.
I can still create that error if I go to the swr option on the 705 and use wsjt-x to tune. The tx locks up in transmit and won't die unless I get drastic and pull the power/usb or go into settings and press test cat and test ptt then test cat again which breaks the ptt.
So I am guessing that hamlib doesn't like wsjt-x running the IC-705 swr test.
It seems that SWR measurement for some still mysterious reason uses VFOB in a manner that is not supported in IC-705 and Hamlib combination. Do you have selected in wsjt-x IC-705 as the rig or do you use rigctld?

I need to know if you are using rigctld.
I see in your message that it's trying to switch to VFOB and that should only be if you are running rigctld without the --vfo option.It appears the 705 doesn't like the SWR mode and VFOB.

Thanks Reino.

So your rx is fine and tx starts transmitting and lose connection to your rig. Do you get an error message? Do you use CAT control for PTT?
Yes, to your first question, error message uploaded, Yes to CAT control.

The real reason could be RFI in sack. The first question is usually what kind antenna you are using? Is it an unbalanced antenna without a current balun in a proper location, usually at the feed point? If the failure is repeatable, does a lower output power helps?

Hello Hisami, 7L4IOU. That video was nice to see. I enjoyed it. I will no longer be testing the JT9 Fast Submodes. Instead I will be using them periodically and hope others will join in as well. TNX, KN4FLO, James, 73.

That doesn't sound like RFI to me.
Something is trying to set_vfo.
Are you using rigctld?  If so please use the --vfo option.

With my limited knowledge on Hamlib errors I still consider that it is RFI. When you are moving and thatching rig to measure SWR you changed a bit RFI current in CAT control connection.
