Re: [wsjt-devel] Partial loss of CAT radio control

[Marco C. <PY...@ou...>]

Today I installed WSJTX-v3.0.0-rc1 on my Windows 11 partition

(I already installed and used successfully this app on my Linux 
partition, that I use as my main system).

By selecting radio "Hamlib NET rigctl", I cannot control my RIG anymore, 
it is an old YAESU FT-100.

Note: _With previous WSJTX version this setup never failed!_

To keep my stubbornness up and strong 🙂, I insisted to use Hamlib to 
manage the radio CAT and I found a solution:

I created a bat file (named "start_rigctld.bat") containing:

@echo off
cls

REM start rigctld for FT-100
start C:\Programmi\hamlib-w64-4.6.5\bin\rigctld.exe -m 1021 -r COM4 -t 
4532 --vfo VFOA

And I put this file into the Automatic startup Menu of Windows (Windows 
key+R to open that location).

In this way, rigctld is started automatically any time system is started.
