com port conflict

 

Hi all,
My QMX is COM 7 on the win 11 PC and I have set WSJTX accordingly. Also on COM 7 is the logging program which genreates a conflict as apparently they are unable to share that com port.? WSJTX uses a virtual com port to the logging software though but the logging software will not catch the QRG. Any fix to that ?
Another strange thing if I am on 28074 i.e. my CQ will go to 28073.5 and then on RX will remain and the next CQ will be on 28073 so every cq The QMX goes down .5. My Flex 1500 will go back to 28074 after CQ.

Hello Martin?

My QMX is COM 7 on the win 11 PC and I have set WSJTX accordingly. Also on COM 7 is the logging program which genreates a conflict as apparently they are unable to share that com port.? WSJTX uses a virtual com port to the logging software though but the logging software will not catch the QRG. Any fix to that ?

This isn't a limitation of QMX. It's a limitation of the USB Virtual COM port device class. It's one-to-one, it can't be shared.?

Another strange thing if I am on 28074 i.e. my CQ will go to 28073.5 and then on RX will remain and the next CQ will be on 28073 so every cq The QMX goes down .5. My Flex 1500 will go back to 28074 after CQ.

I believe this has been reported before and is some kind of Split "fake-it" setting in WSJT-X which needs to be switched off for correct operation with QMX.?

Martin, my setup uses Ham Radio Deluxe as the primary logger.? WSJT-X uses Ham Radio Deluxe as the rig in its settings.? All of its communication flows through the logger first.
 

Mark I am already struggling with the programs in use as my skills on the PC are rather limited. I have no idea, what Ham Radio is about and would like to avoid adding more software to set up unless it is dummmy proof and makes things easier. I just messed up something and my Flex 1500 KE9NS software will not start any more. Before I did loose the audio setup for WSJT-X (VM Banana) The QMX works though but with the 6 m noise is no fun there.

I do no logging but read the WSJT-X group. Maybe a search or enquiry there could help.

There are several ways to use WSJT-X to send logging to another program.
Section 12 of the manual describes them.

Yes, more complications but that is progress:-)

About the best option for sharing physical COMM ports is using TCP/IP.??

????? WSJT-X has a radio option for it, and most logging programs will also connect to it.

There is also a hardware option - create your own 1-wire (plus ground) serial BUS. And connect to multiple physical computer ports.
?? Just mimic the Icom CI-V connections, which requires several 2N2222 (2 at each device).
?? Icom uses addresses, but the reality is that every device connected, will receive the data, and any device can send.
?? Addressing, just makes sure the right device acts on it, but in your case, it would work.
?? I won't go into any more detail here, since this really is more effort than value (in my opinion), but mentioned as an option.
