Start {wsjtx} and Select Configuration from its Setup menu. Enter
|
|
|
|
|
the following information:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- *Call Sign*: <Your Call Sign>
|
|
|
|
|
- *Grid*: <Your Maidenhead Locator>
|
|
|
|
|
- *PTT method*: choose from RTS, DTR, CAT, VOX, or None.
|
2014-01-23 17:13:32 -05:00
|
|
|
|
- *PTT port*: if you will use RTS or DTR, choose a serial port.
|
2014-01-23 15:12:12 -05:00
|
|
|
|
- *PSK Reporter*: check to enable sending reception reports to the
|
|
|
|
|
{pskreporter} mapping facility.
|
|
|
|
|
- *CW ID*: Check to send your callsign in CW after sending 73.
|
|
|
|
|
- *CW Interval*: set the time interval for sending your CW identification.
|
|
|
|
|
Default is 0 (never).

{wsjtx} does not implement full transceiver control, but it provides a
|
|
|
|
|
way to ensure that {wsjtx} can read and set the radio’s dial
|
|
|
|
|
frequency. If you want this capability:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Check the box Enable CAT
|
|
|
|
|
- Select your radio type from a drop-down list
|
|
|
|
|
- Select a CAT port (not the same port selected for PTT control)
|
|
|
|
|
- Set port parameters for your radio
|
|
|
|
|
- If you use {dxlcommander} by DX Lab or {hrd} to control your
|
|
|
|
|
transceiver, you can configure {wsjtx} to communicate with the radio
|
|
|
|
|
through that program. Entries for these programs appear at the end of
|
|
|
|
|
the drop-down list of supported radios.

For now you should leave *Split Tx* unchecked. If you are using CAT
|
|
|
|
|
control, most radios will allow you to set *PTT method* = CAT. Some
|
|
|
|
|
radios support two types of PTT assertion via CAT control: one takes
|
|
|
|
|
audio input from the Mic connector, the other from a rear-panel Data
|
|
|
|
|
connector. The simplest CAT configuration sets *Polling interval* = 0
|
|
|
|
|
(no polling the radio for dial frequency). {wsjtx} will then be able
|
|
|
|
|
to set the radio’s frequency, but the program will be unaware of
|
|
|
|
|
subsequent changes made using the radio’s panel controls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TIP: If you need an additional item in the list of devices for the
|
|
|
|
|
CAT port, edit the configuration file wsjtx.ini and add your
|
|
|
|
|
requirement as CATdriver=yourdriver (for example,
|
|
|
|
|
CATdriver=/dev/ttyUSBserial ) in the group of entries marked
|
|
|
|
|
[Common].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With most radios you can set *Polling interval* to a small number (say
|
|
|
|
|
1 – 3 s) and the program will follow any frequency changes made at the
|
|
|
|
|
radio. Note that you may not be able simultaneously to control your
|
|
|
|
|
radio from {wsjtx} and from another program. Some experimentation may
|
|
|
|
|
be required, and you may need to refer to the documentation for your
|
|
|
|
|
rig-control software and your radio. It is best to have the radio and
|
|
|
|
|
any interface equipment turned on and connected before starting
|
|
|
|
|
{wsjtx}, and to exit the program before turning your equipment off.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Click the *Test CAT Control* and Test PTT buttons to see that you
|
|
|
|
|
have established the desired control of station functions. _ Select
|
|
|
|
|
the devices you will use for Audio input and output.
|
|
|
|
|
- Click OK to dismiss the Configuration window.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- {wsjtx} expects your sound card to do its raw sampling at 48000 Hz.
|
|
|
|
|
To ensure that this will be so when running under recent versions of
|
|
|
|
|
Windows, open the system's Sound control panel and select in turn the
|
|
|
|
|
“Recording” and “Playback” options. Click on Properties, then
|
|
|
|
|
Advanced, and select “16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality).”
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: If you are using a sound card that is also the default device
|
|
|
|
|
for Windows sounds, be sure to turn off all such sounds so they are
|
|
|
|
|
not transmitted over the air.
