OK. This is where there is a difference between how FLDigi is able to use hamlib and CAT. With FLDigi, I do use PTT method is CAT and do not have this issue. So, there must be a way to get the CAT port open and talking without asserting DTR (or RTS). Since I have LEDs on the DTR and RTS signals (labeled as "PTT" and "CW" on the MicroHam interface), I can see that when FLDigi is sending CAT commands to the radio, these LEDs are NOT lit. So it is able to open the CAT port (/dev/ttyUSB0) and have a CAT chat without raising either of those two handshake signals. Ideally, this is the solution I am looking for. I am not a GUI programmer but from a functionality standpoint, in the ws(jt, pr) configuration where there is an ability to force DTR and RTS active, it seems that for my situation, having a setting to force them inactive would be what I need. You could nail them high or nail them low and then the application does not change their state ever if any of these "forcers" are set. > > I have also tried PTT method is DTR with this version and I have the > > same issue. > OK, just to be sure, please confirm you had "PTT Method" set to "DTR" > and the "PTT Port" was set to the same COM port as the CAT serial port? Yes. Right. I did two experiments, first was to use PTT method is CAT, same as what I use for FLDigi and the second experiment was to use PTT method is DTR. In both cases, I get the same behavior with the rig going into transmit as soon as "wsjtx" is invoked. > > So, will have to do some digging. Thanks for taking a look.

That would be great if you are up for it. I certainly am and am happy to run tests and provide feedback.
