bad data. 2. Fix a bug that could allow a Koetter-Vardy false decode instead of a valid Berlekamp-Massey decode, sometimes leading to program crash. 3. Many more edits in the User's Guide, *.adoc files. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@3664 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79

- Start _WSJT-X_ 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).
|
||
|
||
_WSJT-X_ does not implement full transceiver control, but it provides a
|
||
way to ensure that _WSJT-X_ 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 (*Serial rate*, *Handshake*, *Data bits*, *Stop
|
||
bits*) for your radio
|
||
- If you use {dxlcommander} or {hrd} to control your transceiver, you
|
||
can configure _WSJT-X_ to communicate with the radio through that
|
||
program. Entries for these programs appear at the end of the
|
||
drop-down list of supported rigs.

|
||
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). _WSJT-X_ 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/tty.usbserial ) 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 _WSJT-X_ 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
|
||
_WSJT-X_, 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.
