We can hear transmit audio on the signalink - it is just that nothing is getting through to the TS-570D. In WSJT-X settings, selecting the TS-570D just gives a communication error message from Hamlib, so we have been using Omnirig instead. The Cat control is working both ways, so it looks like it is just an audio problem, or the Cat control requesting the wrong settings.

he is using a signal link interface to a Win10 pc,

Is the SL connected to the mic/headphone jacks of the
Kenwood transceiver or the ACC2 (DIN13) jack?

Kenwood use the PTT input (PKS) on the ACC2 jack to select
audio source (input). If PKS is used, Kenwood select the
audio input (PKD) from the ACC2 jack and *MUTES* audio from
the mic jack. If SS, the mic PTT or CAT commands are used
to switch to transmit, Kenwood uses audio from the mic jack
and ignores audio from ACC2 (PKD).

If SL is connected to the ACC2 jack of a Kenwood transceiver,
you *MUST* set PTT to VOX (generated in SL) and *NOT* CAT.

The settings on his pc are correct for the sound card, cat control works and the Cat Test and PTT test both seem to be working. looking at the playback device in sounds/control panel shows that there is activity on signal link audio device, which is also set as the default communication device.
we have tried controlling PTT via Cat (which turns the TX light on the rig) and vox (which doesn’t ). It doesn’t make any difference if we use USB or Data/pkt mode in the settings.
it is almost like there is no audio coming out of the signal link for some reason.
does anyone have wsjt-x working with a TS-570D?

Hi Steve,

teh TS-570D does not have SSB-DATA modes so you must select "Settings->Radio->Mode->USB" for this rig. In data modes you must key the rig via the rear ACC 2 socket, that socket also has the audio in and out connections you need for your sound card. Only when keyed via the ACC2 socket is the mic muted during transmit (I believe you have to manually disable the speech processor as well. The SIgnaLink USB when correctly configured and connected will key the rig via the ACC 2 socket (PKS pin), this is what you want. Select "Settings->Radio->PTT Method->VOX" as you do not want WSJT-X attempting to key the radio, let the SignaLink USB do that.

All that should remain is to correctly set the Tx audio levels, see the post below for a recipe for doing that.
