piHPSDR + WSJTX CAT connection

["Christoph v. Wüllen"]

Since I was asked the same question several times off-the-list, here

is how to do wsjtx with pihpsdr:

a) in pihpsdr, enable CAT in the RIGCTL menu:

b) in wsjtx, choose the pihpsdr radio model and put the TCP port number into the SERIAL

   input field (This is not self-explanatory: in wsjtx, if the radio is connected via

   TCP, the „Serial Port“ field contains the TCP port number). The other serial parameters

   do not matter, but be sure to use „CAT“ for the PTT method.

c) If WSJTX and piHPSDR are running on different computers (but on the same network),

you also have to specify the IP address of the host running piHPSDR in the „Serial Port“

field of WSJTX.

d) Audio connection should be done using loopback devices as long as piHPSDR and 

WSJTX are running on the same computer, otherwise you probably have to use two

small USB soud cards connected via audio transformers. For that reason, I recommend

running pihpsdr and wsjtx on the same computer.
