WSJT-X Manual

 

This Help topic covers use of WSJT-X in RSS.

 

Radio Connection

 

RSS and WSJT-X both use the Hamlib radio control library. Using the Hamlib "Net rigctl" radio selection in WSJT-X it is possible to have both RSS and WSJT-X control the radio.  

 

Connect RSS to your radio in SETTINGS>Radio. Go to WSJT-X File>Settings>Radio. Select Hamlib NET rigctl for Rig and localhost:<RSS Port> for Network Server. You can now control frequency from WSJT-X or RSS.

 

The RSS port is determined by the account you wish to use in RSS. Use the port number shown in RSS SETTINGS>Radio>Rigctl Port.

 

If your radio requires PTT control on an ACC connector to switch audio routing, use the H/W PTT Hamlib GPIO option in Advanced Radio settings.

 

Logbook Connection

 

Contact logged in WSJT-X are automatically transferred to the active log in RSS for the account specified by the sync option in RSS SETTINGS>Users>Edit>Sync WSJTX Log. Log data are transferred using the N1MM Logger+ Broadcasts options in WSJT-X File>Settings>Reporting. RSS expects a connection on N1MM Server port number 12060.

 

Audio Connection

 

RigPi Audio or a radio CODEC is used for input and output audio for WSJT-X. Since Audio is limited to one application at a time, make sure the Mumble VoIP program isn't running.. Choose default in the Input and Output drop-down lists in WSJT-X File>Settings>Audio>Soundcard.
