WSJT-X Operation

WSJT-X version 3.0.0 and later supports the TCI protocol. TCI was originally designed for SDRs, but it's so comprehensive that we have adopted it as the standard for RHR station control.

Operating

Perform the one-time setup steps below to enable TCI and AutoGrid in WSJT-X.

Then, each time you operate:

1. Start the LocalMate app. It will run in the system tray - the icon looks like a Yagi antenna.

2. Connect to any station. Both Flex and Icom radios will work.

3. Start WSJT-X, or click Retry if it is already running.

Audio and frequency data should automatically begin flowing into WSJT-X.
