How do I configure so that HRD and WSJT can simultaneously control my 6400?

Thanks. I will look at further experimentation via the creation of additional CAT ports and think about multiple slices, one per controlling program. So far I've hit dead-ends here, but I'm probably missing something.

I will definitely try this, if only to stop HRD from crabbing at me when I launch it. Thanks!

You could give Slice Master a try.  It knows how to configure DM780 for you and you can configure HRD Logbook to talk to Slice Master instead of talking to HRD Rig Control.  

Take a look here:  https://www.github.com/K1DBO/slice-master-6000 for the README and instructions on how to get started.  There are some other threads here that go into more detail on setting up HRD Logbook with Slice Master.

I actually typically run 2 instances of WSJT (1 for ft8, 1 for ft4), js8call and DM780 simultaneously. I am limited by 2 pandapters on my 6400, but I keep an eye out for rtty, psk31, jscall and ft4 just switch frequencies to use a different digital mode when I see activity. All you need is more CAT ports.

Bill,

As of v0.10.7 Slice Master supports the v3 API.

Good luck!

Great stuff, thanks for the additional ideas. I'll have to go play with Slice Master, too.

SliceMaster will allow HRD Logbook and DM780 to run without need for main HRD program. You don’t need the main HRD program. SliceMaster will also integrate WSJT-X as well as other programs (CW Skimmer, DX cluster integration to show DX spots on screen, etc). Don has done great work with SkiceMaster. Dave wo2x
