Connectivity Questions


 

Greetings...

Have a couple questions regarding connectivity between YCAT, SDRConsole and Log4OM.? Currently running Win4Yaesu, SDRConsole and Log4OM.? I can QSY on any of the three and the other two will follow.? Goal is to get YCAT to follow changes in the other two support programs.? I have? com0com, Omnirig, as well as other virtual comport pair managing software.? Two unused virtual comport pairs have already been made.? I've read and followed the "Technical Bulletin re Configuring YCAT for WJST-X via Virtual Serial Cable", but no success.

Any info to get me pointed in the right direction would be appreciated.

Hi, Steve. I've spent a lot of time figuring out and dealing with virtual com ports and mappings without good results. Finally (if you have FTDX10 like me) I've used 2 connections from TRX - USB for YCAT and RS-232 for omnirig.
YCAT - USB, RS-232 - Omnirig -> Log4OM + SDRConsole + WSJT-X + whatever you wish?

Hi Alex...? Thanks for the info.? I'm still working on a solution.? Agree that what you have described above would work, but my computer does not have a RS232 port.? Did not think I would ever need one when I built the thing.? I'll post back here if I find something that works.

Thanks again, Steve KH6CT


 
Edited

I purchased a USB to RS-232 cable to test this.? My older USB to RS-232 converter cables are no longer supported by Microsoft.? ?:(

I'm curious if you tried to connect your virtual cable to the EXT Serial interface in YCAT to something like OmniRig.? ?As far as frequency changes, that should work in that interface.

In the future we can add a specific expansion serial port.

Best regards,

Sorry, but have not been able to make the EXT Serial interface work with OmniRig.? At present, YCAT and the radio will talk nicely with each other.? Very frustrating because, at one time, YCAT, the radio and SDRConsloe were all three talking together.? Tomorrow, I'll try to replicate that and take notes on what I did.? Progress is sometimes elusive.
