Hi All,
Before some start to argue about rigdrivers that doesn't work when you use
the USB connection with DX4WIN is "BULLSHIT"
It works perfect when you use the correct settings.
I have made so many drivers even that I don't own all the rigs.
First of all read this document and follow the procedure:
https://www.kkn.net/~n6tv/N6TV_Dayton_2020_Everything_USB.pdf
Kenwood, Yaesu and Icom (nearly all ways) installs 2 serial ports.
You need to use the correct one for CAT communication check your manual how
to.
In your Radio setup @ DX4WIN you will see that the max baudrate is
38400 for Yaesu,
19200 for Icom, limit by icom
57600 for Kenwood
Let me assure you that for the data we need 38400 baud is already overkill.
So if you use only USB connection set the baudrate for this port also on
what you see in DX4WIN
Higher want work......
The reason there USB serial ports are set to 115200 is when you use the
waterfall via there programs
Then you need that speed.
How about wsjt-x you may wonder how to fix that.
Or you have or buy a microHAM device that creates 2 CAT ports and can use
one @ 38400 baud for dx4win and the other @ 115200 baud for wsjtx
Or you also connect the serial port from the rig (if still available) to
your computer you can use this one for Dx4win and use the USB for WSJTX.
In the meantime I wrote also the FTDX10 rig file for test, if anyone needs
for test pse ask for it
