Running multiple copies of WSJT-X with SmartSDR has always been a bit of a puzzle until now. SmartSDR v4.2 changed the game, and in this video I'll walk you through exactly how to get multiple WSJT-X instances running cleanly, step by step.

If you've ever wanted to work FT8 on 20 and 40 meters at the same time, or just couldn't figure out why your second instance kept misbehaving, this one's for you. No guesswork, no digging through forum threads, just a straightforward walkthrough that gets you on the air.

If you can click a mouse, you can do this.

What you'll learn:

  • How SmartSDR v4.2 enables multiple WSJT-X instances
  • Step-by-step configuration for each instance
  • How to avoid the common pitfalls that trip people up

Already running SmartSDR v4.2 or later? Then you've got everything you need. Let's get it set up.
