WSJTX FT8 no PTT

I configured WSJTX for FT8/FT4 operation. I used the VB-Audio virtual ports. I used a pair of CAT ports. The CAT test is OK, and the PTT test lights red, but it doesn't toggle PTT. Maybe I configured something incorrectly. I just don't know if I need to enable PTT in Thetis or in WSJTX?

By CAT ports, do you mean you used virtual serial port software?

You need to enable CAT PTT in WSJT-X.

I recommend you use TCP/IP CAT instead of virtual serial CAT. I posted this in your other topic: viewtopic.php?p=32632#p32632
