[Dx4win] DX4WIN and WJST-X/FT8

[wo8l at aol.com]

I'm not even sure where the WSJT log goes on the computer.  It just sort of disappears into vapor space. 73s, RickWO8L  -----Original Message-----

I'm not sure if this is applicable to anything other than Windows 10, but on
that version I've "pinned" the .adi file in the Quick Access section of
Explorer, so it's very quick to get to.

I use #3.

To make it a bit easier I created an icon on the Desktop that references the
WSJT-X log.

DX4WIN opens that icon and imports the log.

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
