smaller files, by section and sub-section. Also extensive editing up through section 7. Sections 6.2, 8, and beyond definitely need work. Other polishing is also desirable, and maybe also some additions and/or changes. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@3656 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79

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.
|
||
- *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).
|
||
|
||
{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.
