Hi Rudy, Ensure you use DATA-USB mode at your Yaesu FT-991 (*not* USB). Important are also the following menu settings at your FT-991: 072=USB.

Hi Uwe, Mike Problem has already been partly solved. Parameter 033 CAT RTS was set to disable in the transceiver. I set this to Enable and the CAT control worked, as well as the PTT control. I also have reception, so I see stations appear on the screen, but when I go on a broadcast, there is no power from the transceiver. It seems that there is no modulation going through the CAT to the transceiver, because when I take the microphone and I whistle into the microphone, I do see power coming out of the transceiver. Still, I think the audio setting is correct, input is on microphone (USB audio codec) and the autput is on speakers (USB audio codec). I have already checked the volume setting of the microphone audio code and it is set to 80%. Do you have any suggestions/tips?

Or is perhaps com0com breaking the connection? What happens if you temporarily disable com0com and use COM3 only for WSJT-X? But in case FreeDV supports OmniRig, I would really recommend you OmniRig 1.20. It is a *much* better solution than com0com. 73 de DG2YCB, Uwe ________________________________________ German Amateur Radio Station DG2YCB Dr. Uwe Risse eMail: dg2...@gmx.de Info: www.qrz.com/db/DG2YCB <http://www.qrz.com/db/DG2YCB> Am 29.08.2023 um 11:31 schrieb on4...@telenet.be: Hi Uwe, Yes I also use that COM port 3 for FreeDV. But I don't use the programs at the same time. And when I start the laptop, just connect the laptop to the FT991 via the USB cable and then start WSJT-X for entering the parameters in the radio tab, then after setting those parameters when I press OK I get that Hamlib mistake. And yes I know you cannot use the same COM port twice, but normally I get a message that the com port is in use. I had this problem on another PC, but I used the com0com program there, and that works fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Van: *"DG2YCB Uwe" <dg2...@gmx.de> <mailto:dg2...@gmx.de> *Aan: *"on4ckt" <on4...@telenet.be> <mailto:on4...@telenet.be> *Verzonden: *Dinsdag 29 augustus 2023 11:24:23 *Onderwerp: *Re: [wsjt-devel] Problem with Hamlib Hello Rudy, Allow me a "simple" question: but you don't have COM3 in use via another program, do you? Because a COM port can only be used by one application at the same time. If you need the same COM port for more programs at the same time, OmniRig is a good solution (as long as the programs support it, WSJT-X does). 73 de DG2YCB, Uwe ________________________________________ German Amateur Radio Station DG2YCB Dr. Uwe Risse eMail: dg2...@gmx.de Info: www.qrz.com/db/DG2YCB <http://www.qrz.com/db/DG2YCB> Am 29.08.2023 um 10:52 schrieb on4...@telenet.be: Dear Uwe, As far as the COM ports and the device manager are concerned, I had already tested and seen which ports were added. That was com ports 3 and 4. I tested both to no avail. And I'm sure it's com 3 that I have to use, because in the program FreeDV (digital voice over HF) I also use the CAT control, and everything works fine there. But I'll go through all the parameters again and see if I'm wrong. I'll keep you informed.

Then open the Windows device manager and see, which COM ports are available. If you then already see COM3 and COM4, it means that they are for something else. Then connect your USB cable to your PC and switch the FT-991 on while the device manager is still open. Now you must see two new COM ports. Your CAT can then be connected via one of these newly visible COM ports. But be careful. At my FT-991, two times the virtual USB COM ports were broken. The first time it was within the warranty period. As far as I know they had to exchange the entire main board. But when it broke again the second time, I left it broken. USB audio still works, but not the two USB serial ports. Fortunately, the RS232 socket of my FT-991 still works well. That's the reason why I am using this now (meaning that I need a second cable besides a USB cable which is still necessary for the USB audio connection). But the connectivity of the FT-991 is identical for RS232 and the virtual USB COM port (also the settings within WSJT-X). It goes internally to the same I/O chip. For the USB COM ports, there is just one chip in front of this I/O chip, which I assume is broken somehow. The only disadvantage via RS232 is that I have only one COM port available. But since I am using CAT for PTT anyway, that doesn't mean any disadvantage in practice for me. Good luck! 73 de DG2YCB, Uwe ________________________________________ German Amateur Radio Station DG2YCB Dr. Uwe Risse eMail: dg2...@gmx.de Info: www.qrz.com/db/DG2YCB <http://www.qrz.com/db/DG2YCB> Am 28.08.2023 um 20:22 schrieb on4ckt: Hello Uwe, I will test it tomorrow, and let you know the results. 73s Verzonden vanaf mijn Galaxy -------- Oorspronkelijk bericht -------- Van: "Uwe, DG2YCB" <dg2...@gmx.de> <mailto:dg2...@gmx.de> Datum: 28/08/2023 20:09 (GMT+01:00) Aan: on4ckt <on4...@telenet.be> <mailto:on4...@telenet.be> Onderwerp: Re: [wsjt-devel] Problem with Hamlib Hello Rudy, Here are my settings.

I have the same settings here (and 028=RS232C), and everything works well. How is your PTT connected? I use CAT. If you have DTR or RTS selected, make sure the COM port for that is different from the CAT serial port. Is COM3 the right one? When you open your Windows Device Manager, what COM ports are additionally listed there when you connect your FT-991? 73 de DG2YCB, Uwe ________________________________________ German Amateur Radio Station DG2YCB Dr. Uwe Risse eMail: dg2...@gmx.de Info: www.qrz.com/db/DG2YCB <http://www.qrz.com/db/DG2YCB> Am 28.08.2023 um 17:01 schrieb on4ckt--- via wsjt-devel: Hello, today I tried to install WSJT-X v2.7.0-rc2 on my laptop Windows10 and connect via CAT to my Yaesu FT991.
