- Start _WSJT-X_ 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.
|
||
* *PTT port*: if you will use RTS or DTR, choose a serial port.
|
||
* *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).
|
||
|
||
_WSJT-X_ does not implement full transceiver control, but it provides a
|
||
way to ensure that _WSJT-X_ can read and set the radio’s dial
|
||
frequency. To enable 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)
|
||
|
||
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/tty.usbserial+) in the group of entries marked
|
||
+[Common]+.
|
||
|
||
- Set the port parameters *Serial rate*, *Handshake*, *Data bits*,
|
||
*Stop bits* as required for your radio
|
||
- If you use {dxlcommander} or {hrd} to control your transceiver, you
|
||
can configure _WSJT-X_ to communicate with the radio through that
|
||
program. Entries for these programs appear at the end of the
|
||
drop-down list of supported rigs.

|
||
Leave *Split Tx* unchecked for now. 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). _WSJT-X_ can then set the radio’s
|
||
frequency, but the program will be unaware of subsequent changes made
|
||
using the radio’s panel controls.
|
||
|
||
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 the
|
||
radio from _WSJT-X_ and from another program. Some experimentation
|
||
may be required; 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 _WSJT-X_,
|
||
and to exit the program before turning the 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 In* and *Audio Out*.
|
||
- Click *OK* to dismiss the *Configuration* window.
