[Dx4win] DX4WIN and WJST-X/FT8

[Mike Cizek W0VTT]

Hello Dave,

You need a port sharing program to allow both dx4win and wsjt-x to talk to
the K3.  LP Pan works for the K3 (my radio).  LP Bridge2 is supposed to work
with other radios.  http://telepostinc.com/  There are probably other port
sharing programs that do the same thing.

I found it easiest to just log everything in wsjt-x and import those QSOs
into dx4win every couple of days.  When you import, set dx4win to ignore
duplicate QSOs.  Hope this works for you.

Subject: [Dx4win] DX4WIN and WJST-X/FT8

I am trying to run wjst-x on my Kenwood TS990S and of course log my 
contacts in DX4WIN

The 990 uses a USB connection which is seen as a virtual comport (COM3). 
I run into conflicts when I try to run DX4WIN and WJST-X because I think 
they are sharing or not sharing as the case may be the same COM port

I want to work a FT8 contact and then log it in DX4WIN. To do this at 
the moment I make a QSO on WJST-X/FT8 , then close WJST-X and open 
DX4WIN  ( or let DX4WIN /Radio interface time out and then log the 
contact manually  A bit cumbersome in the digital age.
So what do you guys do?
1) Manually transfer the info to DX4WIN after the radio connection times 
out, have to remember to enter all the band data, etc

2) The 990 has in addition to the USB virtual COM connection, a real COM 
port I suspect but have not tried it that I could run both the USB/COM 
and the REAl/COM dedicate one port to DX4WIN and dedicate the other 
connection to WJST-X

3) WJST-X has a loging mode, so just log everything to WJST-X and then 
import that log into DX4WIN later ?

4) Or ???? Some possible permutation and combination I haven't 
considered yet
