Is anyone successfully running this combination, with both radios running at the same time? I've been trying to get this working for over a week and at this point, I'm looking for help.
I'm running Ubuntu 26.04.
I had the 7300 working flawlessly. I added the 9700 with a second instance of WSJT-X and CAT control was working but I couldn't get any modulation out when transmitting FT-8. I verified I was using the input/output for the 9700 in the seconds instance of WSJT-X. In troubleshooting this, I somehow broke the audio out from the 7300. I even removed the 9700 from the picture and the 7300 still wasn't working right.
I'd really like to contact someone who is successfully running this configuration and see if I can get their input.
I'm afraid to say anything and jinx this, but I think have it running.
The WSJT-X instance that is controlling the 7300 is using Hamlib Net rigctl. I ended up setting its audio in to: front:CARD=IC7300,DEV=0 and audio out to iec957:CARD=IC7300,DEV=0.
The WSJT-X instance that is controlling the 9700 is using the 9700 as its "Rig" and the serial port is /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102N_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_IC-9700_12008850_A-if00-port0. Its audio in is front:CARD=IC9700,DEV=0 and audio out is iec958:CARD=IC9700,DEV=0.
I've also configured Ubuntu to not sleep the sound cards.
So far, so good. I've been running like this for a couple of hours. I've been able to turn radios on and off, disconnect and reconnect them, and to reboot. Everything is still working.
Unfortunately, I don't have anyone local for a 2m FT-8 QSO, but I've used another radio to at least verify the audio on the 2m FT-8 transmission is good.
