I usually use JTDX, and recently installed WSKT-X to make it compatible with SuperFox.
Both are CAT controlled, but what is the best way to switch between them?
I could rewrite the preferences each time, but I'm sure there must be a better way.
I think it would be possible to create Log002 and start WSJT-X with those preferences. Then I would import Log002 into Log001, but are there any other ways?
HI!
Please tell me what you are after with your question?
You can use both of them with Cqrlog without any change to Cqrlog preferences.
Start CAT control from script before any program (PC startup) using hamlib parameters suitable for your rig.
Then use localhost:4532 and rig "Net Hamlib rigctld" as rig model for every program. That way you can start any, or all, programs and they use CAT without collisions.
Cqrlog preferences set fldigi/wsjtx interface's IP address (wsjt addr) to use multicast UDP. The address is detected as multicast UDP if the first block starts with 239 (I.E 239.255.0.1 for example)
Do same IP settings for wsjtx and jtdx.
I have even tried to run wsjtx and jtdx at same time. Works partially (RX) but Cqrlog cannot define who to command and from who the received UDP frames are from.
But running one at time is ok and switching does not need any special arrangements.
Even without multicast IP address you can use both if you just turn of wsjtx remote of Cqrlog while switching programs. That should clean up used port and allow reuse on next wsjt remote start.

When I am running CQRlog with JTDX, how I will run with WSJT-X?
Now I do not know this, then I stopped JTDX and edited preference/wsjtx, I clicked file/remote wsjtx.
I do not use UDP. Is "using UDP" easier to change than "without UDP" ?
HI!
If you select wsjtx remote from Cqrlog you use UDP (without knowing it).
Make settings like this and you have multicast UDP. Then just stop jtxd or wsjtx (wsjtx remote will close) start jtxd or wsjtx and start wjtx remote (ctrl+J).
No need to touch Cqrlog preferences when switch from jtdx to wsjtx or vice versa.
You can even start both jtxd and wsjtx at same time when wsjtx remote is on, but get duplicated monitor lines to CQ monitor.(and posssible other problems, but in theory they can run even at same time)
Note that in WSJTX settings the "output interfaces" may look different depending your PC network card interface names.
------------
For proper rig CAT settings please read this document: https://github.com/OH1KH/cqrlog/blob/loc_testing/compiled/setting_rigctl...
If you have proper CAT settings you do not need to make any preferences change either when switching programs.

First, I matched the JTDX and WSJT-X rig settings. CAT ttyUSB0 / PTT ttyUSB1
I thought that any scripts would probably be necessary.
But I don't have the ability to write scripts, so I couldn't succeed.
If JTDX is running, start WSJT-X and switch to it,
If WSJT-X is running, start JTDX and switch to it, and make it CQRlog remote.
I think the way to do it is to specify the script in preference/wsjt IF.
Kiitoksia paljon, Saku.
I always start CQRlog and press Ctrl + J, which starts JTDX and then REMOTE wsjtx, so I assumed there must be some way in CQRlog to switch and start WSJT-X.
>wsjtx remote from Cqrlog you use UDP (without knowing it).
This was an eye-opener.
I now understand that UDP is used for multicast.
