WSJT-X/Fldigi integration for automated logging?
Posted: 25 Mar 2019, 19:36
Running a Yaesu FT-450D with SignalLink USB connected to a Windows 10 PC, also have a CAT serial cable between radio and same PC for rigcontrol. I run the latest versions of WSJT-X for FT8 and Fldigi for occasional PSK31.
I manually log to QRZ and eQSL, and export/sync from QRZ to LOTW. Wanting to streamline this and I'm told Log4OM would help, and that it can even integrate with WSJT-X and FLdigi. Right now I'm only concerned with WSJT-X integration and operating FT8, so that's what this thread will be about. I can mess with other modes in WSJT-X or Fldigi later on.
It is my understanding that with all this set up properly, at the end of each QSO when WSJT-X pops up its little window to log the QSO it would also send it to my Log4OM, which then automatically sends to QRZ/LOTW/eQSL...is that correct? I've read that rigcontrol is also somehow required for this to work, is that also correct and if so will my existing rig control cable setup be a problem or be affected by that?
Given my gear/software/setup, how would I go about getting Log4OM and WSJT-X configured correctly to do the above tasks? I found some old threads and posts elsewhere with some information but I don't know if those still apply today and I want to be sure I'm doing this right.
