Cross Platform WSJT-X Integration

[KG6NRV]

I've got RumlogNG on my Mac Studio connected to Thetis Windows software via TCP and Parallels Network Bridge. Thetis is running my Anan 7000 SDR Transceiver. CAT over TCP seems to be working OK. RumlogNG does track the frequency when I tune the rig. It's also able to key the transceiver.

I've got WSJT-X for Windows running alongside Thetis. I couldn't get the Mac version of WSJT-X to connect to the Windows side my rig. In any event, WSJT-X is also able follow the frequency, change bands, and use the PTT function.

I'm trying to get RumlogNG and WSJT-X talking to each other. At one point the network pane reveals that Rumlog was "listening" to WSJT-X but beyond that I'm not seeing any integration. It doesn't record QSOs or even enter a callsign.

There's a manual instruction to run my radio as DXLabCmdr, though I'm unable to get a CAT connection using that definition.
Anyway, not luck so far, and any ideas appreciated. I've added some screenshots of my setup below.

First at all: The latest macOS versions are a little bit buggy regarding network connections. When you experience problems, go to your Privacy settings and toggle the Local Network Connection option for RUMlog Off and On again.

To find out why your CAT control from WSJT-X is not working we need to see your Radio settings in WSJT-X.

Assuming your Mac is on 192.168.7.154 you have to enter your chosen port number 2237 in RL: Preferences-->UDP-->WSJT-X-->Data port. You see there just a place holder as suggestion, not a real entry!
Furthermore you send out your ADIF log to the same port, this could cause trouble. For what is it used for?

You should use three different ports:

• DX-Lab-Suite-Commander
• UDP data exchange
• ADIF Log broadcast

Tom, thanks for the reply.
I was actually able to get things working. After some research, I set a separate network address for the UDP server and that solved the problem. It cannot share the same address as the TCP server.
Everything is communicating correctly now. It's great to see that RumlogNG on the Mac can function perfectly even when connected to Window 11 Silicon Mac software running on the same machine.
