Hi Team,

Is the details on how to use CAT-2,3 &4 in PSDR mRX available here ?
If not anyone please guide me how to use it ?
Can we replace use of DDUtil with this option ?
I need to use CAT for : WSJTX, Mini deluxe and then HRD log

There is absolutely nothing special required. They all work exactly the same as the main CAT port assignment. Simply attach as many programs simultaneously as you wish, up to a maximum of 4, of course, and they will all have full CAT control of the radio at the same time.

I use this feature to run WSJT-X, Fldigi and the DXLabs suite all simultaneously.

Unless you need some other special feature of DDUtil, it is not necessary.

Just hook stuff up and have fun!

Hi Scott,

In this case, do we need to configure virtual port pairs in Com-0-com program ? or it is not required ?
I have Com-0-com running in my PC.
Is that the reason , when I tried second cat in PSDR, it was not working and showed some error !

Yes, you need a separate serial port pair defined for each connection.

E.g. COM31 to COM32, COM33 to COM34, COM35 to COM36, etc.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for advise. I could do it and work without using DDUtility. I use Virtual serial port pair also as required.
Settings I use are as below:

PSDR :
CAT : COM13 ; Baud rate 9600
CAT + : CAT2 : COM26 ; CAT3: COM25 ; CAT3:COM24. Enable all three with selection check box.

Com-0-Com :
Virtual Serial Port Pair set : COM14-COM24 ; COM15-COM25 ; COM16-COM26

WSJTX:
Radio : Kenwood TS2000
CAT control : Serial Port , COM15
PTT Method : CAT

Mini Delux:
Power SDR serial port : COM14
HRD Server Port :7809

HRDLog:
USed Mini Delux.
