Just an added data point. I upgraded to 2.5.3, W10, 64 bit, using a TS-590SG and no issues at all. Then I switched config to the IC-9700 and the CAT no longer works with an echo comm command problem.

Oops...I just noticed you are in G4 land....so ignore my beacon note, That would be for USA hams. Joe, K1YOW

#MSK144

Andy, Be careful with the word “beacon”. Unattended beacons are not allowed on 6m on those frequencies. All works fine if you are at the station as a control op for all the times you will be transmitt

#MSK144

I noticed a similar thing on the evening of 10/02 on 10m FT8. There was a good opening from W1 land to LU and PY land, and I was getting -15 to +05 and I was giving out +20 and most around +10. Intere

#GeneralGroupInfo

Dave, Like the other station, all versions of WSJT-X work directly with my TS-590SG for CAT control, both on Windows 10 and Ubuntu LINUX using the USB cable. I do not use flrig. Joe, K1YOW

#Cat_RigControl

There is no need to run arcp software while running WSJT. I operate WSJT-X modes just fine running WSJT-X software stand-alone just using a USB cable to connect my TS-590SG to a Windows 10 or LINUX co

Hi Jay, I have my FTOL set to 200 and the decode set to deep. I also have the IC-9700 firmware at V1.3. I did not update to V1.31 yet since that seems to just tweak the rig freq graph display a bit. T

#MSK144

Hi Jay, I found one of the major problems in decoding, especially on 2m, was rig frequency accuracy. I had put in a more stable osc into my TS-590SG, and 6m decodes were fine. I was using an old IC-74

#MSK144

Just to chime in....I have a TS-590SG and I am on the latest RC version and everything seems to work fine. When I change bands, in split, all works as expected. Likewise for my IC-9700. One thing to m

#Cat_RigControl #Kenwood

Hi Hasan, OK on the work around. While I do have different configurations for my TS-590SG and IC-9700, it is not a big deal just to restart manually. It only takes a few seconds. I just did a FYI post

#IssueReport

I also sent this via the developers list. Just a FYI here. WSJT-X 2.5.0 rc1 Windows 10 I was working some MA to FL Es on 50.313 on FT8 and all worked great. No problems at all. Then I switched to Q65-

#IssueReport

Hi Erwin, You should not lose CAT by turning the VFO on the 9700. If the baud rate is too slow, it may not keep up quickly. I do not know if that would present a problem or not. Here are my 9700 setti

#WSJTX_config

Hi Erwin, I have a 9700 as well, and I do not have that problem. All works just fine. When you say “change frequency”, how do you do the change? Manually? Via WSJT-X pull-down? Joe, K1YOW

#WSJTX_config

Thank you Joe for the data and Jim also makes a very good comment. When I was looking at how weather storm systems affect transatlantic 6m communications, and also during the winter months when we hav

When I get on to 28.135 Q65-30A, I announce it on the ON4KST chat page. There may be other sites as well. So far, I have not seen any other posts on the site for 10m Q65, but that may also do more wit

#Q65

Hi Bill and Dave, I called some CQs on 2m FT8 and then switched to 1296 and called some FT8 CQs there. On my IC-9700, all worked fine, so I was unable to reproduce the problem. I am running barefoot –

#Cat_RigControl

Hi Bill, I was having a IC9700 issue where I would get a rig error after changing configurations using Q65. I was able to reproduce it and Mike came up with a fix and it worked and still works in RC3.

#Cat_RigControl

RC2 installation went fine on W10. Made a Q65-30A QSO OK on 6m using a TS-590SG. Switched configuration to the Icom 9700. Tried FT8 and it was OK. Tried Q65-30B on 144.170 and after one CQ it turned o

Hi Jim, 50.275 Q65-30A Here is where I find most of the activity. 50.235 Q65-120E Very s-l-o-w sub mode, but works for at least 1,000 miles when the band is closed. 50.305 Q65-30A I have seen North Am

Hasan, Excellent summary. Well written. As you know from my QST and CQ HamSCI articles, I have used JT65 and then FT8 on 6m to investigate how weather, storms, jet streams and magnetic fields affect t
