I am trying to set up WSJT-X for FT8 Hound mode with my 6400.
If you have successfully done so I would like to know what settings you set up on the 'Radio' tab of the WSJT-X ver. 1.9.1 set-up dialog.

Thanks  George  N1GB

    Thank you for the link.  The settings were helpful.  The latest 1.9.1 version now requires a split mode setting.  I used Fake It (see screen shot of my settings).  This set up works fine and I just made successful Fox/Hound (me) QSO with A5A DXpedtion on 20m FT8.

    Thanks, Jerry
    I will give this a try.
    Are the Network Server settings the same for anyone's Flex, or are they specific to your computer network?

    George, ops forgot to mention that your actual TCP port may be different for example 5004 vs 5002.
    open CAT and take a look at yours. see photo

    As long as your not interested in using DDUtil, then 5002 should be ok, but there's no harm in creating more TCP CAT ports, I create one dedicated TCP CAT port for each of my 4 slices. DDUtil is hardcoded to use 5002.
