Check that N1MM+ can read the frequency from the rig as you rotate the knob on the radio, and that you can change bands on the radio from N1MM+.

That is the port number you need to configure for rig control in N1MM+. If there is more than one port listed there, you can tell which one is the correct one by unplugging the cable for half a minute or so and plugging it back in while watching Device Manager to see which port number disappears and reappears as you do this.

Plugging the cable into the rig and powering up the rig should cause Windows to install a driver for the K3S's USB to serial adapter if it hasn't already done so, and the COM port number assigned to the port by Windows will show up in the Windows Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT). If you don't already have this working, then to do it using the USB cable the K3S's CONFIG:RS232 needs to be set to USB.

Like all things IT, I would be a bit surprised if it worked when we get to the actually being on the air part of all of this.Instead of looking for a cookbook recipe, try working through what functions are needed and how to implement them. Well, that is about it! I know that this is not a comprehensive how-to, but hopefully it gets you a bit closer on how to set up a multi-transceiver contest station. And likewise, if you are using RTTY or PSK31, typing those into the callsign box will open up Fldigi. When you use FT8, and assuming that you set up N1MM to work properly with WSJT-X, the WSJT-X application will open inside of N1MM+. Remember that you can easily switch modes in N1MM+ by typing them into the call sign box (FT8, PSK31, SSB, CW, etc). The N1MM+ documentation is helpful for this as well. That is the status window running at the top of the screen. Once you have gotten through all of the steps in the videos, find the Network Status Window in the location shown below.

(Especially the slide shown at 12:41 minutes)Īnd the finale to all of this occurs when you access the “Network Status Window” in N1MM+.(How to connect two computers together with an ethernet cable).Fldigi, well there’s a learning curve to that as well, and really I am still on it…īut as far as how to get N1MM+ ready on multiple computers with WSJT-X and Fldigi for ARRL Field Day, I suggest taking a look at these videos in this order: The 991A has an internal soundcard unlike the other radios, so is a bit more plug-and-play. You are on your own for that! I do have some old posts that discuss the settings of the Yaesu FT-818 (using the Digirig interface) and the Yaesu FT-857D (using a signalink) that work for WSJT-X that may be useful. I am not going to start here with a description of how to use WSJT-X or Fldigi. There are four videos out there that make this a fairly straightforward process. It was our recent SOTA Campout fiasco, never to be talked about again…īut for this post, I am focusing on how to network two computers together with an ethernet cable, so the N1MM+, the ubiquitous amateur radio contesting logging software, can be ran simultaneously on two computers.

And most fortunately, AA1F was not actually in the backpack. I actually ran over his entire backpack, crushing the LDG tuner, a bioenno battery (which thankfully did not explode), and, well, indenting the 891. A Yaesu FT-991A on the left of me, and not one, but two Yaesu FT-891As on the right of me. I am sitting here with two computers connected together with an ethernet cable. I am literally afraid to turn anything off.
