WSJT-X/Rigctl Configuration Issues - Need Info

 

1). Wsjt-x only receives data if the Zbitx display is active on? my monitor.?
2). Cannot manually start rigctl if I shutdown the zbitx display. Rigctl returns network connection error.
3). With the? zbitx display window open and wsjt-x running and the mode set to digital, I cannot use the zbitx display to change bands. Band change only works if it is done via wsjt-x
4). When changing bands on wsjtx the zbitx display shows the correct band reflecting the change but wsjtx does not.
5). Receive works fine BUT cannot transmit/tune from wsjtx. I can transmit and tune from the zbitx display window but not from wsjt-x.
?
NEED HELP with number (5) and clarification with what is going on with rigctl.
I'd like to be able to start rigctl from CQRLOG and then run WSJT-X without having the zbitx display active if that is possible?
?
Thanks,
Leo? AI5II
 

I get no rigCtl response in WSJT-X from the zBitx. RigCtl reports the connection was actively refused by the radio. WSJT-X works fine on my sBitx. I've also tried my CTR2-Micro on both radios. Same story. The sBitx works fine but the zBitx refuses to connect.

I should mention I've updated to the latest firmware 1.06/3.051.
 

Fldigi hamlib settings? don't work either.

I hope you guys are using digi mode to connect with any other application

Yes I am in digi mode.

Receive works just fine. The issue is that (a) CAT is not working (b) transmit does not work (c) since cat isn't working (d) can't change band/frequency from wsjt-x.

What I did find out is that grig does work to change frequencies on the zbitx if it is started with? rigctl arguments.

So there must be something different in how fldigi
and wsjtx handle hamlib for them not to work.

Also tune does not work in FT8 mode. Works in other modes not just FT8.

Here is what else I am seeing (I hope this helps).
When I start wsjt-x the zbitx frequency changes to 14.074 which is the default ft8 frequency. I am able to change the zbitx band ONE time with wsjt-x to whatever e.g. 40m and the zbitx frequency changes to 7.074. But if I try to change the band again it does not work.
If I shut down wsjt-x and restart it then I have the same results. Can only make one change.
The display frequency on wsjt-x never changes.?
Transmit/tune does not work at all?

Hello.

The update doesn't work, I only get a gray lcd, and nothing on the computer. I got a USB cable with a C type with the station. So I used what I have at home. It asks if there needs to be a special cable for the update.

When working as FT8, I get a signal, but no decoding. So I don't see the signs of the stations I hear.?

What am I doing wrong.?

After reading the forum, you will find answers to your questions in a lot of information. In the Home column, the last Wiki caption is where helpful information is collected.?
On the messages page, in the upper right corner, there is a search box where you can search through previous discussions on the forum. I would have been very happy when sBitx was released, you could have searched and found answers among so much information. This is Canaan for you, you just have to know how to search.

Leo,
?
?I can't write any helpful information for your problem because I don't know where and how the sbitx and zbitx programs are separated.
What was transferred from sbitx and it's also confusing to me that the zbitx program is still called sbitx.
I have sbitx v2 hardware and I'm running the 64-bit v4.4 version. You should know that the 64-bit version has been available and under development since March 2024.
Since I'm using this and I don't know much about the 32-bit version, I can't help you either. I didn't experience the problems you described when I used the 32-bit version via an external hdmi monitor. I just took a screenshot and noticed what the problem is: the description in the zbitx manual is incorrect for the broadcast!
see the picture!

Try this. I have seen this happen.? Select the mode and don't keep clicking it with the stylus. But highlight the mode and then use the knob to go up or down to select the mode. Should bring up the correct ft 8 screen?
