bitx 40 cat and digital modes

[email protected]
 

Hi,

I know there have been some threads on these topics before, however I'm kinda interested what the current 'state of the art' is, so to speak.

Is there anyone using CAT control on their bitx 40, and how are you doing it? If you are doing digital modes are you using VOX circuit for the PTT, or via another method. Thanks!

I successfully used FT8 modes and jt9/65 before that. I used a raspberry pi with a usb audio and connected mic and speaker to that. For PTT I used a gpio pin on the rpi and made a ground ptt circuit. Wsjtx did the rest.?

There is CAT control for the bitx40 and wsjtx has good CAT control support.?

Thanks for the reply Joe.?

What version of the firmware you are using with CAT support, or is it your own? I see there is a github repository that uses a modified version of Allard's 1.24 firmware:??that claims to have added support, but I haven't given it a try yet.

I personally haven’t tried the cat functions yet but I have been following the guy who made that addition in this group. I sold my bitx40 but I am waiting for a Ubitx to try it out with.?
