Configuring ft-991a

Unread post by NN7M »

I’ve been working on configuring RUMLogNG for a few weeks with some success. The biggest problem I’m having is using it with wsjt-x. Sometimes with I push the tune button or transmit, the audio switches from the rig to the macs speakers. What am I doing wrong?

OS: high sierra
Rig: Yaesu FT-991a
Drivers downloaded direct from Silicone Labs

This is a well known problem under macOS, nothing to configure wrong in RUMlog nor in WSJT-X. You should google around about this.
From the WSJT-X manual:
If you are using macOS with an external audio device and find that Tx audio spontaneously switches to the motherboard sound device after a few transmissions, try setting the sample rate to 44100 Hz rather than the otherwise recommended 48000 Hz.

By trial and error I found the 44,100 settings work better than 48,000. But it still finds its way over to the motherboard audio on send. Can you help make sure my settings are correct? I don't fully understand the different ways cat, rts etc control the rig. I'm interested in adding control for fldigi and winkeyer next.

Once again: There is nothing you can configure in RUMlog or in WSJT-X regarding the audio problem! With Fldigi you will probably have the same problems.
I don't fully understand the different ways cat, rts etc control the rig.
There are multiple option to switch the PTT. How do you switch the PTT now when running WSJT-X?

I’m using cat. Thank you very much for your help. This has been frustrating to troubleshoot when I don’t understand how all the controls work. The manuals for the rig, wsjtx have not been very clear to me.

When RUMlog is switching PTT, set PTT in WSJT-X to VOX.
Set Split Operation to “Fake it”
