RICHARD PLOTKIN #8479 开云体育 HI Mark, Thanks for the info on your settings. I tried them. However, for whatever reason, I am still not triggering the PTT on the FTdx10. ?All your settings were very clear except ?it looks like you have some settings for the radio on your computer. ?The box with a green top border that reads SOUND, I didn’t find where I could access that screen. ?Also, I am using USB to CODEC. I noted your’s said Yaesu(10 USB Audio Codec). ? ?Don’t think that make a difference. ?There seems to be some setting I am missing, but have not found it yet. 73, Richard On Dec 2, 2024, at 10:37, mark weisenfeld via groups.io <mark.wfeld@...> wrote: Re-posting this to the thread I intended. ---------- Forwarded message --------- This is what is working for me, exceptionally well.

I am curious about the PTT port (Optional) setting in Winlink Express. Does that mean the other (standard) serial port is not used (COM14 in your case) for PTT, or does it mean that it is used? It seems that if it were used, the port selected would be COM14, but if it were not used, it would either be blank or indicate "unused" or "N/A". To me, "FTDX10" is ambiguous. Thanks, Lee K5DAT _._,_._,_

The data connections are not used at all. There's no confusion here with respect to the USB port on the radio and the 3 associated devices. The radio in question is the FTdx10, but it operates the same as described above. I have it working with the G8BPQ software and VARA HF. In my setup I'm using the standard serial port for RTS PTT keying, and I'm using the enhanced serial port for CAT control. The FTdx10 also has a real serial port that supports CAT control as well, and I've tried it and verified that it works. Depending on the program(s) in use on the computer, you can use either CAT control (if the program knows your exact radio CAT control language) on one port, --or-- the COM port handshake-line control? on the other port (which will work with virtually any program on any radio),? for PTT keying. ? Acknowledged. My question was not about how the radio works, but rather, it was about the meaning of the settings applied in Winlink Express because I am not as familiar with that program. I wasn't sure from the screenshots which of the two PTT methods you cited is actually being used, so that's what I'm trying to understand. This two-ports-and-a-soundcard accessed through a single USB port is IDENTICAL to the external Yaesu SCU-17 stand-alone digimodes interface. ? Both are based on the Silicon Labs CP-210x USB<-->serial chip that is widely used in both Yaesu and Kenwood radios.? The "Yaesu driver" on Yaesu's web site is a slightly out-of-date version of the current driver on "Silabs" own web site.? Yes, it looks like the FTdx10 is also identical in this respect. ? 73, Lee K5DAT
Lee Bengston All Messages By This Member #8520 Update - based on a post I saw recently in a Winlink applicable to a different radio, I learned that in Winlink Express when the radio name is selected in the PTT Port area, it means that CAT commands are used for PTT. That answers the question I had. 73, Lee K5DAT
