Problem with com interfaces


Peter Dudzinski
 

Hello OM`s,

my configuration for QO-100 is : SDRConsole V3.1, IC-705, RSRP1a V3 and transverter from LZ5HP.

I have some problems with the interfaces also my com ports. My IC-705 is correctly connected via two com ports (CI-V is com 9 ) to my PC.

When WSJT-X for FT8 is running via cat and com 9 with my IC-705, it is all right and works fine.

Now I start SDRC still without external radio.

The SDRC is still not running now, but it is enough my WSJT-X interface to kill.

WSJT-X responds with this error message and stops working.

Why does kill SDRC this interface (at my com port 9) ?

At this time is nothing else happening with my PC.

In addition, I have a problem with External radio. SDRC can not connect my IC-705.

Is the cause here a common one ?

Does anyone know this problem and can help me, especially Simon ?

Do I maybe need  a virtual port ?

Vy 73 !

Hello Peter,
 
My set up for QO-100 is very much like yours,
 
SDRConsole, RSPDuo, FT991, SG Labs Xvtr and Logging Programme Logger 32.
 
What logging programme are you using?
 
I have seen your error many times and it is always due to Com Port errors. i.e the wrong ones selected in SDRC or Omni rig and or my logging programme!!
 
Yes you do need a virtual comport for that config.
 
My setup has a virtual Comport between Logger 32 and SDRC this enables the reading of the down link frequency as shown in SDRC.
 
The FT991 comport (Hard USB Comport) is configured in WSJTDX (although I use JTDX)
 
Logger32 has functionality to control all the requirements for FT8 and SSB/CW.
 
Let me know what you logging programme is and I might be able to help further.

Basically you don't that I can see. Nothing mentions the beast sending samples out over an external connection. So "why bother?"

That aside, do you have COM0COM setup and configured? (Looks like this - the COM4/COM3 setting not the CNCA0/CNCB0 setting. That is important.)


Then you connect SDRConsole to one port and OmniRig to the other. The rig side of OmniRig should connect to the radio's CIV. Pray that OmniRig has a setting for the IC-705, select it, and go. Read the files up on SDR-Radio.com for further information about working with an external radio. Methinks a boatload of reading will be required to develop a configuration that is going to work. It's definitely going to be unusual and a one-off configuration as the usual satellite configuration uses frequencies the IC-705 cannot touch.

Hi jdow and Ian

and thank you for the prompt reply.

I can´t imagine a configuration problem, because the WSJT-X works properly without SDRC and with e. g  WEB SDR.

Means for me configuration is correct. Problem appears when I start SDRC. SDRC displayces the Application WSJT-X from com9. Why ?

It would be nice, if Simon could say something about that.

I show below my Device Manager :

As you can see my RSP1a receiver has own driver and does not need which com port.

Via this interface communicates SDRC with my receiver.

My IC-705 needs two com ports 8 and 9.

Actually clear configuration and theoretically no conflict. Do I need a virtual port additionally ? For what reason ?

So far I haven`t needed it. Of course, I can try it out, if I see a clear reason.

Can someone tell me the reason exactly for my case.

That`s just my theory doesn`t have to 100% correct. I like learn something new from you.

Something else for IAN. I don`t use a external logger, only WSJT-X

If you use wsjtx with rig alone the soft controls frequency (and ptt) via cat.
If you start sdr console it also looks for the comport to control the rig.. 
And then there maybe is logbook.. Clustersoft... 
So you either have to change your config each time depending what you plan to do.. Or add some virtual port where you can use one as a splitter between the different software calling for a comport. Now clear?

Please excuse me if you've already done this; but, after a look at the IC-705 manuals I suspect you may need to do a deep dive into all three IC-705 manuals and the SDR-Radio.com help files. (Follow the menus.) SDRC will not directly drive anything other than (some?) Kenwood radios. So you will absolutely require OmniRig to provide the translation. What translation OmniRig can provide for the IC-705 is in question. Since I don't have one nor do I even know anybody other than you who does I can't help further.

Hello Peter
 
Thanks' for letting me know you are only using WSJTX as the logger.
 
I will try and set my configuration as yours is without using my logger programme.
 
Will let you know how I get on.

there is no compelling reason in my case.  The communication between SDRC and RSP1a takes place via RSP1a own driver (see below my device manager)

I suspect that it is programmed other, but i don`t know. Only Simon knows that.

Normally, for this case the SDRC doesn`t need to know my comports.

I think, that happens first, when we activate External Radio by SDRC. By the way, that doesn`r work at me either with IC-705. Common cause ?

And then there maybe is logbook.. Clustersoft...

That`s clear. Multiple access to the comports is the main reason for this solution. If I don`t get another explanation, I`ll try it.

It is also better for the future and other applications.

So you either have to change your config each time depending what you plan to do.. Or add some virtual port where you can use one as a splitter between the different software calling for a comport. Now clear?
That`s also clear.

I believe the usual suspects, COM0COM and the like, all have facilities for sharing com ports. But it can be tricky to setup. I've not done it in enough years I can't help configuring that arrangement; but, it can be done if you are careful about it.

Hi to all,

thanks for the factual discussion Ian and Alan. Ian you wrote so many facts and questions. I will answer everything after trying something myself, especially VSP-Manager.

First we have similar problems. There are currently two important questions for me:

1. Do we absolutely need a virtual port for SDRC to work with WSJT-X ?

2. if yes, do we also need the split function to share the resources ? Tools like com0com and VSP-Manager don`t support it. That do e. g  VSP-Emulator.

    What we need ? I am not 100% sure, if correct.

i will try it, but would make some steps easier here.

Hi Matthius

How do you otherwise connect the rig control capabilities of WSJT-X to SDRC?  I've always done it with virtual comports.

Matt.. He uses sdrc with a rig.
Sdrc wants a cat port.. And wsjtx wants a cat port.

Hi Peter,

no, you do not need a com-port for SDRC to work with WSJT-X.

Hi to all,

thanks for the factual discussion Ian and Alan. Ian you wrote so many facts and questions. I will answer everything after trying something myself, especially VSP-Manager.

First we have similar problems. There are currently two important questions for me:

1. Do we absolutely need a virtual port for SDRC to work with WSJT-X ?

2. if yes, do we also need the split function to share the resources ?
Tools like com0com and VSP-Manager don`t support it. That do e. g VSP-Emulator.

    What we need ? I am not 100% sure, if correct.

Alan wrote, that hub4com is additionally needed.  Is there anyone, who has a working configuration ?

i will try it, but would make some steps easier here.

Hi Mathias,

my problem is, that a working WSJ-T is interrupted when I turn on SDRC.

I use RSP1a as receiver and this is via own driver connected to SDRC (without com interface).

Actuelly no reason to break the com interface.

Hi Matthius

How do you otherwise connect the rig control capabilities of WSJT-X to SDRC?  I've always done it with virtual comports.

Hi Peter

I have exactly the same setup here.  RSP1A connected to SDRC via the normal drivers.  

To tune the frequency of the RSP1A from WSJT-X I connect WSJT-X to SDRC using virtual com ports as created by com0com.  WSJT-X should be set to use radio TS-2000.  WSJT-X can then tune the RSP1A, via SDRC.

Hi Charlie,

thanks for the Info. It is not all clear.

What does mean "normal driver" ? Is this the supplied driver for RSP1 ?

If yes, then is this driver displayed separately at device manager and not at comports. Is that your case ?

Then you choose in the SDRC menu SDRPlay V3.

Do you send e. g. FT8 via TS-2000 ? If yes, how does happen , if your WSJT-X is connected to SDRC.

But in the next sentence you write "WSJT-X should be set to use radio TS-2000"

I think, few screenshots about your configuration (WSJT-X and com0com) would be helpful.

Tune is for me a later topic. First it has to work at all.

Do you use External Radio function for your TS-2000 at SDRC ?

Vy 73 !

He wants to also use his rig (sdr for receive trx to transmit)... Yes setting up a hybrid station for qo100 can be tricky when it comes to digi modes.
Its not connecting wsjtx to sdrc... Its the problem he uses wsjtx on normal rig alone... And in combination with sdrc when on qo100.. 
A splitter port could solve that.. 
Rig is connected to a real comport 
Port is forwarded to a virtual port that is set as splitter., and wsjtx, sdrc, logbook, etc etc... All are then using that splitter port. No software should direct use the hardware comport. All must use splitter. 
That should solve it.
