Flex Radio - CAT integration not working [PENDING DEPLOYMENT 🎉]

Good day,
I am a avid flex user and so far I can’t get the cat control to connect to my flex. I figured I would take it 1 step at a time and start with my windows machine that is located directly at the site since my set up is 100% remote.
So far i can’t get it to connect with my smart Cat no matter what settings or selections i pick.

I have tried all the flex settings in the selection, kenwood settings, hamlib etc. thoughts?

Same here - also 100% remote with Flex. I can connect using N3FJP just fine, but the WRL app shows that there is a connection, but nothing happens. Here are my N3FJP settings, which work:

Here’s what I have set in the WRL app:

As @K9BDH noted above, I tried all of the other Flex settings and nothing worked.

Here’s some information from the N3FJP site about using the Flex API: N3FJP Radio Interface

I have the same issue. I think you can only have one CAT control going. I have N3FJP running flawlessly and it logs all FT-8 contact then uploads them to 4 logs automatically. I have gotten WRL to connect before so I believe you cannot have WSJT-X controlling your rig frequencies (I could be wrong) as then the WRL connector although says connected shows zero db of traffic. I have yet to have it successfully log anything using the connector.

@N0APX @K4AZE - let’s not forget about this one :flexed_biceps:

If you need a radio to test with PM me i can arrange it.

I’ve been doing some experimenting and have been able to get the Flex frequency to appear in the WRL CAT app when I chose the Kenwood R-5000. This makes sense because the FlexRadio CAT command set is based upon the Kenwood format.

All,

We are finalizing some changes to the cat control app that will support flex radios and virtual ports! We should be ready to release this update early next week!

Thanks & 73
