WRL Cat Control and AetherSDR

I’m not sure how many of WRL users are familiar with AetherSDR, a new software available for Flex Radios that have been developing fast and furious. And I don’t know how many of WRL users have Flex radios.

By any chance any WRL users also uses or have tested AetherSDR? I’ve been trying to get WRL Cat Control to connect with AetherSDR via TCP and TCI and when it connects then its closes AetherSDR and if I open AetherSDR then it disconnects WRL Cat Control. Is like if just one can connect to the radio.

In my imagination I was under the impression that if I connected AetherSDR to the flex (local or smarlink) then I would be able to connect WRL Cat Control app via aether (tcp or tci), just like I would connect a wsjtx session. But its not working that way.

When I use SmartSDR for MacOS, I can connect WRL Cat Control with no issue to the flex, but with AetherSDR I havent been able to.

Am I missing something?

@HI8O Currently the WRL Cat control app does not have support for connecting to apps or radios via TCP connections or over the network. This is something we will be adding in the future though.

Thanks for the quick turnaround. At least now I know it’s not an operator error.

Wow! I’ll sure be looking forward to this! :slight_smile: If the WRL Cat control app supports TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), then who has a clue what’ll happen next?

@K0BAN Hi Phillip, I’m not sure who or what you are addressing with your post. Did you perhaps post in the wrong thread?
