This is a real shocker. I'd communicated with Bill on the list a while back A few months back, after an update to windows, WSJT-X could not communicate with my Kenwood TS-450. After a try on email, he

Ok. We solved it!! I did a hail mary and rolled back WSJT-X to version 2.2.0, and it is now working. SOOOOOOOOOO DEVELOPER TEAM: It appears that the Kenwood TS-450 library was broken between version 2

Just tried 2.5.0. No Joy. For those just tuning in, this is a hamlib error that just started happening. Since we are at that inevitable point in a discussion where folks are not carefully reading the

I've tried changing stop bits. No joy I'm afraid. Chris, AB6QK

#Kenwood #Cat_RigControl

Fair question. Com 7 goes to the rs232 on the rig for cat. Com 5 (ptt) goes to my Rigblaster, and and the Rigblaster keys the PTT line.. By the way, the PTT works if I select "None" from the radio dro

#Kenwood #Cat_RigControl

Ok gang. One more time. Other software communicates with the radio just fine via standard rs232 (it is a ts450 oldie but goodie). This is a standard serial interface, not a USB to 232 converter (which

#Kenwood #Cat_RigControl

Thanks for the quick response. I had mentioned library error. Here are screen shots:. The sound card isn't the issue. That part works. The interface is a standard serial port using a multi-port card.

#Kenwood #Cat_RigControl

v 2.4.0 A few months back, WSJT-X stopped controlling my Kenwood TS-450. I didn't have time or patience to trouble shoot at that time. Now I'm ready to dive into it. First, I believe this is a problem

#Kenwood #Cat_RigControl

Update: after hours of work, I solved this. It turned out to be caused by a (very) badly behaving modem card! It actually permanently damaged the operating system, so just uninstalling and removing wa

Bill I thought I'd update you and anyone else watching this. I have spent hours on 3 different levels of Microsoft support. They are all stumped. The last option suggested was blowing up the machine a

#AudioIssues #Cat_RigControl #IssueReport

Wow! Thanks Bill. This isn't good news obviously, but it confirms my suspicion that its a windows issue most likely introduced with an update gone wrong. If you have any hints I'd love to hear them. O

Thank you for the reply, Bill. Since last post I did another "hail mary" by uninstalling and deleting all the folders including those in appdata, and downloading a fresh copy. This gave me a fresh ins

I think it would be better to focus on the bigger issue which is the sound card problem. Note this capture. The correct card shows initially as "not found". If I click on the pick list (which I did on

New information courtesy of "Serial Port Monitor": For some reason, wsjt-x is now sending the wrong status query string to the radio! It is sending ID; (that's I D semicolon). The correct query is IF;

#AudioIssues #Cat_RigControl #IssueReport

Com ports are also affected. Basically all I/O is broken. MixW4 works fine and I can make FT8 contacts with it. Last week, wsjt-x was working fine. The interface to the rig is serial via a rig blaster

#AudioIssues #Cat_RigControl #IssueReport

I'm using different hashtags now that I have the hang of this. I cannot get wsjt-x to see sound cards, and the com ports do not work either. I suspect this happened when a windows update came, but I'v

That was my suspiscion, But rolling back the update did not change anything. The radio is a Kenwood ts-450s which is properly selected in the settings. There is no special driver for this radio. That

Ironically, the only device showing is the Windows Default. No, the device needed is not the Windows default. The device I'm using for the Kenwood is a c-media pci card, which works fine with other pr
