Hello, I have a Kenwood TS590s with a Digikeyer2, a Yaesu FT736R with the DXP sound modem.
If I start WSJT-X via CQRLOG for example, my TS590, then I have the WSTJ-X CQ monitor window.
If I switch to the FT736R in WSJT-X via Configurations, WSJT-X is automatically terminated and restarted.
The CQ monitor window is missing and is not listed under the window entry in CQRLOG. I have to quit and start WSJT-X again and CQ-Monitor is there.
Then the entry is there again under Window.
Is there a solution, that I don't have to quit and start WSJT-X again?

WSJT-X CQ-Monitor
Hi Uwe!
If you have wsjt-x remote ON at cqrlog then closing WSJTX program will send an UDP message from it to cqrlog telling that WSJTX program is closing. Then cqrlog also closes WSJT-X remote connection.
If WSJT-X remote mode is OFF there is NO selection of CQ-monitor in NewQSO/Window selection list
The quick way is:
- you switch profile in WSJT-X, it restarts (I.E. closes and starts program) and that will close WSJTX remote that closes CQ-Monitor.
- you just press Ctrl-J while in cqrlog/NewQSO and your WSJTX remote with CQ-monitor is again ON now listening the other WSJTX profile.
- Ctrl-J is toggle key it switches WSJT remote ON/OFF and is the fastest way to open and close remote.

Hi Saku,
thanks for the fast respond.
Unfortunately, your suggested solution does not solve my problem.
I can switch the CQ monitor on and off with Ctrl-J and also start WSJT-X in remote mode.
But if I change the transceiver with switch in the WSJT-X Configurations tab, WSJT-X is automatically closed and starts again immediately, without CQ monitor.
I can't turn it on with Ctrl-J either.
If there is no solution for this, then I can live with ending and starting WSJT-X again.

HI Uwe!
And you have the latest version 2.5.2 of cqrlog ? (I think all from 2.4.0, at lest, should work ok)
Remove check from "Run wsjtx after entering to remote mode for wsjt-x" at preferences/fldigi/wsjt interface. close preferences with OK.
give Ctrl-J and check that CQ-monitor opens when entering remote. If not open it from window/wsjtx monitor. Place and size it to wanted position.
press Ctrl-J again to close remote.
press Ctrl-J again to open remote. Cq-monitor should appear to place (and size) you set at last time.
Now if you start wsjtx manually and open remote with Ctrl-J either before starting wsjtx, or after it, CQ monitor should be visible. When you switch profile from wsjtx just press Ctril-J and remote is on again.

Hi Saku
Yes, it works.
Then I only have to start WSJT-X manually once, without remote.
My version of CQRLOG is 2.5.2 (001) from 02/2021/12.
Thank you for your help
Uwe
OK, fine Uwe!
If you use two rigs with cqrlog and wsjtx you could use two rigctlds running. That Is the way I do it:
If you start rigctld before cqrlog and wsjtx (like I do) use script that has lines (modified for your rigs):
/usr/bin/rigtld -m 3073 -r /dev/icom7300 -t 4532 -s 19200 -C auto_power_on=0 &
/usr/bin/rigtld -m 3009 -r /dev/icom706 -t 14532 -p /dev/rig -P RTS -s 19200 --set-conf=serial_handshake=None,dtr_state=Unset &
Here I use symlinked device names icom7306 and icom706 they point to /dev/ttyUSBx
Note port numbers ic7300 uses port 4532 and ic706 uses port 14532
Note also the "&" character at end they leave both rigctlds running on background
Then in preferences/TRXcontrol radio1 uses rig number#2 "Hamlib net rigctld" and port 4532. That is then ic7300.
Radio2 uses same config, but port is 14532. That is then ic706
"Run rigctld at program start" is unchecked.
Same with wsjtx settings/radio Rig is Net Hamlib rigctld and Network server is localhost:4532. Other radio settings what ic7300 allows.
Second profile is settings/radio Rig is Net Hamlib rigctld and Network server is localhost:14532. Other radio settings what ic706 allows.
Then just change radio at cqrlog/TRXcontrol and profile at wsjtx. Both works now.
