[Dx4win] FW: DX4WIN + WSJT-X COM Port Control

[John K9EL]

Mark,

I use DX4Win and I operate FT8.  I run DX4Win, JTDX and WSJT-X at the same
time from my TS990 USB port.

I use port splitting software called VSPE.   It is available at:
http://www.eterlogic.com/Products.VSPE.html

Any of the three programs can control (change) the frequency of my radio.
The VSPE software is very reliable.

I also have a Flex radio and Flex radios can create multiple software serial
ports, so VSPE software is not needed with a Flex.

Others have suggested solutions as well.

73, John K9EL

Subject: [Dx4win] DX4WIN + WSJT-X COM Port Control

I have used DX4WIN for many years.  I use WSJT-X for FT8.  

 

I want both programs to have simultaneous full access to my transceiver
through the one COM port that is used for data transfer and control of the
transceiver.

 

I have tried many port sharing and port splitting software programs without
success.  The two programs work for a few minutes, but when one of the
programs polls the port, the other program loses connection to the port.

 

Has anyone found a way to do what I want to accomplish?

 

I have been advised that Ham Radio Deluxe has the desired capability, but I
don't want to switch from DX4WIN to HRD.

 

Tnx & 73,

 

Mark, K6FG
