How to connect Thetis to Ham Radio Deluxe via TCP/IP for rig control etc.

Post by GW4NNO »

Does anyone know how to connect Ham Radio Deluxe to Thetis via TCP/IP? I have Thetis connected to WSJTX via TCP/IP and that works great. I have the log book part of HRD connected to WSJTX and that also works, but how do I get rig control to work with Thetis and HRD?

AFAIK HRD does not support TCP/IP CAT.

HRD is going to rewrite their rig control logic in the future. They are actually completely rewriting HRD to be portable (e.g. Linux + MacOS)

HRD as of now should be able to connect as a TS-2000 to one of the Thetis CAT ports if you use virtual serial ports.

Thanks for that W9mdb. I may try cat via serial ports but don't have any virtual serial port software at the moment. I was hoping to avoid that! TCP/IP works so well with other stuff so lets hope HRD get it sorted soon.

Use this
https://freecomportredirector.com/

Create a TCP/IP Port to 127.0.0.1:13013 (RAW) for example.
You can pick an available (i.e. empty) COM port for the redirector to use.

Set HRD to PowerSDR 115,200

I now have this working following Mike's suggestions. I have rig control of my Anan7000DLE mk ii from HRD to Thetis and logging direct from WSJTX. Thanks for all the help.
