QDX: WSJT-X indicates that QDX resides at COM3 but I'm still getting Hamlib errors when I try to test CAT there.


 

Any ideas, group?

Assuming Windows, Device Manager shows the COM port. Plug in the QDX and it appears.
Then set WSJT-X. and Baud rate.

Thanks, Alan. QDX does show up in Device Manager at COM3. BTW,? Baud rate is set for 38400 and rig set for TS-440S. Have also tried rig for QRPLabs QCX/QDX.
That doesn't work either. Maybe an issue inside rig?

Maybe.
Does the "Test CAT" work?
Can you connect by the terminal?
What is the Hamlib error message?

wb4hio,

Have you set up the audio?? I had the same issue until I got the audio set correctly.? Both need to be set up for Hamlib to be happy.

Evan and group.
I have something intermittent going on here. Sometimes, QDX Digital XCVR shows up in audio and as COM3 in Device manager. But, sometimes one or both will disappear. When either is absent, or course, test CAT fails with plenty of Hamlib messages. This rig has worked great in the past and this is a recent issue.
Perhaps a defective USB cable or PC port. BTW, to complicate things, I also use the same PC and WSJT-X 2.6.1 with a second configuration for a Yaesu FT-450D permanently set for 5 watts out which works consistently well. More experimentation to follow.
Thanks and 73,
Bill, WB4HIO


 

Try using the suggested baud rate. See operating manual, page 7 and note 3 on page 8.


 

YEPPPP!
