    Craig, I did not follow your response, so the settings on WSJTX PTT is not selectable as it defaults to Port 5 and Port 5 is already assigned by Windows to Sierra Wireless device. How does one change that?

    Dudley, so as I understand it , I set WSJTX PTT to DTR or RTS and select the PTT port 9 and it should work. Right now I'm receiving fine as it receiving on Port 7, but not transmitting PTT in Port 5.

    Hi Arvind

    If you use SliceMaster, then it will handle all the setup of DAX and CAT in a few mouse clicks.

    Have you given that a try?

    I did not know about SliceMaster. So are you saying that also does the radio setup in WSJTX and Port setups?

    Michael, After I rebooted this morning WSJTX setting for PTT port reads Port 9 and the PTT port on Smart SDR CAT is also 9. Hope to see some activity now and be able to transmit out

    Michael, Thank you for that link and program.  I got the radio up and working FT8 in no time and got QSOs in Japan and Asiatic Russia. Slice-master program really simplified the complicated port settings.  I'll post the settings and a snapshot of screen later.
