    On startup of WSJT-X ver2, I get a hamlib error and a pop up window with 4 options - restart, cancel, config, settings.   So the cat is set to 172.0.0.1.7831 with the PTT set to a flex PTT DAX channel 12. If I choose the radio as HRD, I get a green connect button in WSJT-X  and all works fine when starting from Slicemaster or from the WSJT-X directly. If I choose the radio 6xxx, then I get the errors on startup.   I've tried other DAX channels for 172.0.0.1. xxxx and set that in the WSJT-X settings, but that makes no difference.   So its working with the radio set to HRD, but I don't know why. One of those deals where you just don't mess with it and all is OK.

    I believe you either may have made a typo, or you have used an incorrect IP address. You should be using a local Loopback address (the local computer) to talk to CAT i.e. "127.0.0.1:port"

    Did you create the TCP port in PowerSDR CAT?
