_WSJT-X_ offers CAT (Computer Aided Transceiver) control of relevant
|
||
features of most modern transceivers. To configure the program for
|
||
your radio, select the *Radio* tab.
|
||
|
||
- Select your radio type from the drop-down list labeled *Rig*, or
|
||
*None* if you do not wish to use CAT control.
|
||
|
||
- Alternatively, if you have configured your station for control by
|
||
*DX Lab Suite Commander*, *Ham Radio Deluxe*, *Hamlib NET rigctl*, or
|
||
*OmniRig*, you may select one of those program names from the *Rig*
|
||
list. In these cases the entry field immediately under _CAT Control_
|
||
will be relabeled as *Network Server*. Leave this field blank to
|
||
access the default instance of your control program, running on the
|
||
same computer. If the control program runs on a different computer
|
||
and/or port, specify it here. Hover the mouse pointer over the entry
|
||
field to see the required formatting details.
|
||
|
||
- Select *OmniRig Rig 1* or *OmniRig Rig 2* to connect to an _OmniRig_
|
||
server running on the same computer. Note that _OmniRig_ is available
|
||
only under Windows.
|
||
|
||
- Set *Poll Interval* to the desired interval for _WSJT-X_ to query
|
||
your radio. For most radios a small number (say, 1 – 3 s) is
|
||
suitable.
|
||
|
||
- _CAT Control_: To have _WSJT-X_ control the radio directly rather
|
||
than though another program, make the following settings:
|
||
|
||
* Select the *Serial Port* used to communicate with your radio.
|
||
|
||
* _Serial Port Parameters_: Set values for *Baud Rate*, *Data Bits*,
|
||
*Stop Bits*, and *Handshake* method. Consult your radio's user guide
|
||
for the proper parameter values.
|
||
|
||
* _Force Control Lines_: A few station setups require the CAT serial
|
||
port’s *RTS* and/or *DTR* control lines to be forced high or
|
||
low. Check these boxes only if you are sure they are needed (for
|
||
example, to power the radio serial interface).
|
||
|
||
- _PTT Method_: select *VOX*, *CAT*, *DTR*, or *RTS* as the desired
|
||
method for T/R switching. If your choice is *DTR* or *RTS*, select
|
||
the desired serial port (which may be the same one as used for
|
||
CAT control).
|
||
|
||
- _Transmit Audio Source_: some radios permit you to choose the
|
||
connector that will accept Tx audio. If this choice is enabled,
|
||
select *Rear/Data* or *Front/Mic*.
|
||
|
||
- _Mode_: _WSJT-X_ uses upper sideband mode for both transmitting and
|
||
receiving. Select *USB*, or choose *Data/Pkt* if your radio offers
|
||
such an option and uses it to enable the rear-panel audio line input.
|
||
Some radios also offer wider and/or flatter passbands when set to
|
||
*Data/Pkt* mode. Select *None* if you do not want _WSJT-X_ to change
|
||
the radio's Mode setting.
|
||
|
||
- _Split Operation_: Significant advantages result from using *Split*
|
||
mode (separate VFOs for Rx and Tx) if your radio supports it. If it
|
||
does not, _WSJT-X_ can emulate such behavior. Either method will
|
||
result in a cleaner transmitted signal, by keeping the Tx audio always
|
||
in the range 1500 to 2000 Hz so that audio harmonics cannot pass
|
||
through the Tx sideband filter. Select *Rig* to use the radio's Split
|
||
mode, or *Fake It* to have _WSJT-X_ adjust the VFO frequency as
|
||
needed, when T/R switching occurs. Choose *None* if you do not
|
||
wish to use split operation.
|
||
|
||
When all required settings have been made, click *Test CAT* to test
|
||
communication between _WSJT-X_ and your radio. The button should turn
|
||
green to indicate that proper communication has been established.
|
||
Failure of the CAT-control test turns the button red and displays an
|
||
error message. After a successful CAT test, toggle the *Test PTT*
|
||
button to confirm that your selected method of T/R control is working
|
||
properly. (If you selected *VOX* for _PTT Method_, you can test T/R
|
||
switching later by using the *Tune* button on the main window.)
