WinMor and PACTOR are not similiar, as you would need a SCS TNC to run PACTOR.
I built a cable for my Flex65k5 and my P4dragon which works well. WinMor also works and my setup is similiar to yours. Vy 73, Alex - DH2ID

Elmer and Jim, As you can see I do have receive signal but when I hit start on the winwor session I don't see anything transmitting, the DAX is on as shown blue, in the DAX control panel I had to make transmit yellow as highlighted. I switched ports and changed the TCP Port value to 8500 nothing seems to work.

Arvind Mallya

I just changed the TCP Port from 8500 to 8200 and now the DAX control panel Tx stream shows transmitting still no connection to the far end. I also don't see the Winmor sound card TNC Transmit lighting up.

After changing settings TCP port settings to 8200, the DAX Tx panel lights up and showing transmission

Comm ports assigned in Windows I selected 5 and 6. So far nothing still get failure to connect

You need to turn your DAX on in SmartSDR console , so the DAX TX will connect your tx audio to SmartSDR.

Craig Williams

I turned my DAX on and the DAX window still says "DAX TX IS OFF".and mine won't connect either. RX works fine.

Dudley WA5QPZ

Then you still have not enabled it in SmartSDR console window, the “TX Stack” , to the right of “Mic Gain” slider.

Arvind Mallya

Dudley, The TX is turned on in the Smart DAX, I will check now in the Smart SDR console, I thought that was ON.

Craig Williams

My console has "+ACC" to the right of the Mic Gain slider.

Arvind Mallya

Craig, the legend under TX is always says TX off but the TX button turns yellow and you see it transmitting with red indicator

Dudley WA5QPZ

Craig, The bottom directly under the “ACC” button. It turns blue when enabled.

Craig Williams

Yep, that's selected. When I do a TX test in RMS I can see the audio TX data in DAX as it sends the test tones but my FLEX will not go in the TX mode. Have tried several PTT settings in the RMS Radio Setup but no go.

Craig Williams

GOT IT! Had to make a VSP for PTT. Now I see what the "P" is in the SMART CAT examples. Thanks.

Craig, same here I see the same in DAX control panel go red and change up and down but don't see any thing in the Winmor Transmit Ack window. The receive looks fine and waterfall is active. I can also hear tge click of the switch in the Flex Rado change the frequency.

Jim, Thanks, I'm linking a video on the entire start to stop process and when it goes to connect failure at the far end station, I will post the SDRCAT screen next. I do have a PTT on the radio does that need to be removed/disabled? I think I tried to move that receiver gain on the DAXCat window will try again and will check the Winmor TNC window and will make sure the computer sound is 100%.  Where do you disable DTR?
