WSJT-X video of Mike.

Member ✭✭
in FLEX-6000 Signature Series


Hi members,

In the WSJT-X video, Mike shows how he completes the CAT at the beginning of the vid. As RIG: FLEX6000 and as Network Server: 127.0.0.1:503.

I don't understand how he got that number and, more importantly, what to fill in there.

    125.0.0.1 = it's the local host on every PC

    5003 = is the select port - you have to create b4 a CAT port in SDR CAT like this

    Think of the IP address and Port as a number number and an extension. It is a pretty good analogy.

    In the screen shot you posted, I was connecting to port 5003 on 127.0.0.1. 127.0.0.1 is a Local Host or an 'in house' phone call. :)

    In SmartSDR CAT I had set up a CAT port for Slice B on port 5003. When WSJTx sends a command to the radio, it will use this phone extension to tell the radio something.


    Make sense?

    A little **** of me, a little further Mike shows what you need to do with the TC port value in CAT to enter Network Server value. Thank you for your quick response.

    Hi Mike,

    I have some problems with the port assignments for the PTT, only ports 1, 3, and 5.

    I'm not able to match the port assignment in WSJT-X and CAT.

    What is going on here?

    Ceres,


    the port number does not need to match Mike’s video.


    If you create PTT port Com 5 then in the software (WSJT-X for example) you select Com 5 for PTT.

    The port number does not need to be a specific number but whatever you create in SmartSDR CAT has to match in the digital mode program setup.

    Also, when creating a PTT port for a software program to use it should be a virtual port and not existing port.

    Thanks David for your answer.
 Maybe a **** question, 
how do I make a virtual comport?

    Thanks David,

    your comment:

    If you create PTT port Com 5 then in the software (WSJT-X for example) you select Com 5 for PTT.


    The problem is that in wsjt, for example, I can only select the USB ports and not, in my case, the virtual port 5.

    Sorry David, forget my last comment, is irrelevant

  • Member, Super Elmer Moderator

    When creating the PTT port use Flex VSP instead of existing.
