Computer: Fujitsu Esprimo 2.90GHz Ram: 16Gb
OS: W10 PRO 20H2 (Latest may update) Rig: IC-7100 (Power used abt 10 watts) App: WSJT-X Ver. 2.4.0 (Same problem on all versions tested ) Omni Rig 1 type: IC-7100e4 Running a remote station using RRC-1258's from www.remoterig.com , Distance: 450km. This worked fine until a few weeks ago. A lot of Windows updates. CAT works (supplied log). Setting > Radio > Mode: Data/pkt ON. Pressing TUNE. Tune shift to RED. Mode on 7100 Shift to RTTY-R and stay on the mode. Power out is OK - about 5 to 10 Watts. No SWR Have to reset RTTY-R manually. Setting > Radio > Mode: None Pressing TUNE .Shift to Red. Rig shifting to TX . NO Output at all. Can see on a remote SWR meter that IC-7100 shifting and also in the log. Setting > Rig Mode from USB-D to AM. Pressing Tune. Works OK. Same with setting rig RTTY. Working OK I have been fiddling around with the rig control head so I might have change something in the IC-7100 settings but what? Any suggestions or help are welcome. 73 de Lars (Present calls holding: SM3CCM, SM0CCM, 7S3C, J73CCM)

Computer: Fujitsu Esprimo 2.90GHz Ram: 16Gb Hi Lars, Omni-Rig can only support a limited number of modes on your rig,
there are insufficient to support FSK RTTY modes as well as
SSB-DATA modes. You must amend your rig's Omni-Rig .ini file to
send appropriate CAT commands, and decode CAT query commands, to
support the USB-DATA mode of your rig. If you do not want to do
that then you should select the
"Settings->Radio->Mode->None" option in WSJT-X and set
your rig's mode manually when using WSJT-X. Alternatively do not
use Omni-Rig, but I assume you are using the rig server because
another application is sharing the control of your rig. 73

Lars, Try the rig in the dropdown for IC-7100e4-DATA It has for the DATA command this, [pmDIG_U] ; These lines select USB-D for USB digital mode, FIL1 Command=FEFE88E0.2600.01.01.01.FD ReplyLength=16 Validate=FEFE88E02600010101FD.FEFEE088FBFD If you want FIL2 then edit this entry like this,
FEFE88E0.2600.01.01.02.FD And like this, Validate=FEFE88E02600010102FD.FEFEE088FBFD Bruce N7XGR

Hi Bruce and thanks for the tip. I changed type in Omni-Rig to IC-7100e4-DATA and set WSJTX setting to Data/pkt. Following happend with Rig setting : USB-D TUNE - TX ON – No Power out. However Mode on 7100 did NOT change to RTTY-R RTTY-R TUNE – TX ON - Full Power (10W) out. Rig mode shifted to USB-D RTTY TUNE – TX ON – No Power. Rig mode shifted to USB-D
Did the same test with WSJTX Mode None. USB-D TX ON - NO Power RTTY-R TX On - Full Power (10W out) AM TX ON – Full AM Power ( abt 5W out)
I guess I have to do as Bill says; drop Omni-Rig. Hope I can do that without need to go to the station site. One way drive is around 6 hours.

Hi Lars,
if you are getting power in RTTY modes
then I doubt you have a working Tx audio connection, that is
probably just the rig keying one of the RTTY tones.
Check you rig is correctly configured
and connected to take audio from your sound card on Tx when in
USB-DATA mode. E.g. DATA MOD -> USB if you are using a USB
connection to your PC and rig.
Also check your Tx audio levels:

Bruce and Bill Thanks indeed for all suggestions. I downloaded Commander and had no problem getting it work with WSJT-X. However it seems that I still have the same problem so it probably my settings… Bill. When running WSJT-X and pressing TUNE I dont have Power if rig is set to RTTY but if rig is set to RTTY-R (or AM) I have power output. It’s mothers day today and our two sons with familes comming and staying for dinner so I have to leave this until tomorrow. (All of us have got full Pfizer jabs.) 73 Lars. (Note! I’m running a remote station. 6 hours drive one way.)

Actually , I think an S unit is 6DB which means you must Quadruple it.

Tom V. Segalstad
ARRL’s comparative overview (below), of different types of measurements, confirms the relation between S-meter and transmitting power, as given by Gary, AG0N. As an example, if we look at S-meter reading 4 (second last vertical axis), this compares in this overview with transmitting power of 1 Watt (last vertical axis). A doubling of transmitting power from 1 to 2 Watt, is a 3 dB power increase, and will increase the S-meter from 4 to 4.5, because there are 6 dB increase between each S-meter unit. So another doubling of transmitting power from 2 to 4 Watt, another 3 dB increase, should move the S-meter from 4.5 to 5. And this continues: Another 6 dB increase, from 4 to 16 Watt, equivalent to 1 S-meter unit, should increase the S-meter in this example from 5 to 6, as given in ARRL’s overview.
