When setting up WSJT-X 2.0, I Can only get it to do FT8 with the radio set to HRD and a slice A ip of 127.0.0.1.7831. Setting the radio to Flex 6xxx does not work. Any ideas?

Hi W5AP,
With those settings, it sounds like you are using Slice Master. You can make other settings work, but if you want to continue using Slice Master, you shouldnt. Part of Slice Master's job is to configure WSJT-X so you dont have to.

I have another question for W5AP. When you say it doesn't work, just what does
that mean? It doesn't receive? Transmit? Question, too vague.
I have WSJT version 2 and it has Flex 6XXX for the rig and it works here. I can
post my settings. What is your CAT set for for the Flex?

On startup of WSJT-X ver2, I get a hamlib error and a pop up window with 4 options - restart, cancel, config, settings. So the cat is set to 172.0.0.1.7831 with the PTT set to a flex PTT DAX channel 12. If I choose the radio as HRD, I get a green connect button in WSJT-X and all works fine when starting from Slicemaster or from the WSJT-X directly. If I choose the radio 6xxx, then I get the errors on startup. I've tried other DAX channels for 172.0.0.1. xxxx and set that in the WSJT-X settings, but that makes no difference. So its working with the radio set to HRD, but I don't know why. One of those deals where you just don't mess with it and all is OK.
I believe you either may have made a typo, or you have used an incorrect IP address. You should be using a local Loopback address (the local computer) to talk to CAT i.e. "127.0.0.1:port"

Thanks
It was a typo and that is what I'm using

Here is a snapshot of my screen which works.
Make sure your DAX channels are correct and enabled also.

make sure there is a : not a . before the port number...
127.0.0.1:xxxx
127.0.0.1:xxxx
Good catch... I saw that as well in the original post but failed to comment...
That was it. You solved my question
Now I can set the radio to flex 6xxx and the port to 5004 with the
Smart SDR CAT TCP port set to 5004 an it works.
I should have noticed that Slicemaster was setting 127.0.0.1:7841 with the radio set to HRD and I didn't see the :
Wow. And I even had my glasses on
Thanks and 73, Jim
Woops, that didn't fix it. As slicemaster continues to set WSJT-X up as before ie:rig-HRD and network server 127.0.0.1:7831
However WSJT-X does work ok with these settings.
I'll keep playing with it
I believe the problem is with SliceMaster. Same with all previous versions, but I have
6000-v0.10.6a installed and it is very slow to initialize if at all. WSJT-X v2.0.0 works fine by itself with the settings rig=flex 6xxx and port 5xxx set in Cat control - network server.
