SmartSDR v4.2.18 Basic and Multiple Instances of JTDX

Gary Carter

With the previous version of SmartSDR basic I had been using SliceMaster 6000 to enable me to run two instances of JTDX with my Flex 6500 on 6 meters, one for the main FT8 window on 50.313 MHz and the other for the FT8 DX window on 50.323 MHz. Since the current version of SliceMaster won't work with SmartSDR v4.2.18, what is the recommended method to setup a second instance of JTDX to run in that DX window? My current version of JTDX is 2.2.0-rc152.

Gary, I do have a video that describes a solution, but I made a typo on it and I haven't had a chance to redo/re-edit it.

But, this does work.

In the video, I have only used a single dash.

It should be a double Dash and I think using SliceA and SliceB makes it very clear which copy is assigned to what slice.

Give that a try, Mike va3mw

WSJTX.exe --rig-name "SliceA"

WSJTX.exe --rig-name "SliceB"
