Maybe the collective wisdom of this group has an answer not to be found elsewhere.
Currently, I use DXBase for logging and an SDR-IQ running SpectraVue software for a panadapter. These are "connected" to the K3S using LPBridge for port sharing. This works well, and provides a clean spectrum display with point-and-click and mouse wheel tuning, if desired. I can also connect N1MM and AXTTY (a DXBase specific version of MMTTY) via port sharing if necessary. I don't use skimmer, spots or any of that other stuff.
Enter FT8, which for philosophical reasons I'm not fond of, but pragmatism is forcing it on me. As best as I can determine, WSJT-X (FT8) requires total hogging of the K3S com port. So to switch over I have to close the other programs and start WSJT-X. This takes a little time while DXBase updates its database. Going the other way takes even more time while LPBridge creates the virtual ports before the other programs start. Although I haven't tried it I believe there is a bridge from WSJT-X to DXBase, which then gets frequency from WSJT-X.
So, the question is, is there a solution to this other than buying a different radio?
