I ran into a number of problems getting WSPR to work properly with WSPR. From bits and pieces I have gleaned from others I have come up with a configuration that allows PowerSDR to work with WSPR 100% reliably. 1. I used VSP manager to provide the virtual serial port pairs. 2. I did not use DDutil between PowerSDR and WSPR. I had PowerSDR and WSPR communicating using a two VSP port pairs. 3. WSPR did not work with PTT via CAT. I had to use a second VSP port pair just to handle PTT. 4. WSPR did not properly communicate with PowerSDR when the SDR-1000 command set was used. I had to use the TS-2000 command set. 5. Someone suggested that WSPR does not work properly with COM ports above 9. While I did not do exhaustive testing, I did have trouble when I was trying to use a COM port value of 16 while COM port values below 10 seem to work. 5. I did use VAC for the audio streams. Here is the procedure. 1. Create two port pairs. I used COM6/COM7 and COM8/COM9. The first port pair (6/7) is used for CAT and the second (8/9) is used for PTT. 2. Set up a pair of virtual cables in VAC. 3. Configure PowerSDR to do CAT on port COM6. Other params are: 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit, 19200 bps. 4. Configure PowerSDR to do PTT using DTR on COM8. 5. Set the radio ID to be TS-2000. On WSPR set: 6. PTT via DTR on COM9. 7. CAT on COM7 with a Kenwood TS-2000. Serial port settings should be 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit, 19200 bps. Once I set things up this way WSPR worked properly with PowerSDR. -- 73 de Brian, WB6RQN/J79BPL _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
