HRD Logbook and WSJT-X Integration | New HRD v6.4.0.886

K0PIR

I'm an Amateur Radio enthusiast. I love the hobby and experimenting with radios, antennas and software. On my YouTube channel I upload videos on the Icom 7300 and Icom 7610 along with Ham radio software programs. I hope to inspire people to try new things in Amateur Radio.

Another excellent instructional video. I keep learning more.

Thanks for your Videos. You stated that you are only using one cable. Will this setup work with Fox-Hound DX Expedition mode or do you need two cables?
I am having a problem; with WSJT-X set for (Ham Radio Deluxe, CAT, Rear/Data, Data/Pkt. and Fake It) the IC-7300 will default from USB-D to USB after every transmission. When I transmit again it will generally go back to USB-D but not always and then back to USB in receive. It almost seems like a timing issue or a conflict on the USB cable. Any ideas?

Hi Rich,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I am using one USB cable and no VSPE. I tried all that you mentioned except maybe using 7300 for rig control. After all day of trying different combinations I don’t remember. But after sending you the question I got to thinking about my comment about a conflict on the USB. I went back last night and looked at the CI-V settings. The original “How To Setups” called for 9600 baud rate. So I tried the max rate of 115200 rate in the CI-V setup and also in the Connect setup for HRD. That solved the problem. It did seem to create another problem of multiple log entries into HRD logbook; interesting. I think I saw that discussed in one of you discussions. I will search through them (so many) for a solution. Maybe the baud rate issue will help some others.
Thanks, Jim N9BW

I also have this problem with an extra log entry. It doesn’t seem to affect ever entry but when the duplicates occur the time is different. Same minute but off by 15 to 45 seconds. Also, in one entry the name is all caps and the other name is normal case. I use JTAlert.

I used to have the exact issue, I found that when in F/h Mode, all I did one day was set my TX at 1500hz or more and it stopeed doing it. This is when “fake it” is selected.

Rich, thank you so much for this article. I was struggling with getting rig control and logging set up for JTAlert and HRD Logbook to be fully automated. Finally a straightforward article, easy to follow, and it works!

Rich,
Will this work with WSJT-X without HRD Rig. I would prefer to have WSJT do direct rig control of my 7300.

So, this is my current setup using two cables and UnLink from Remote:

WSJTX direct CAT control of my 7300 using COM4 at 115200 bps.
WSJTX does more complete, fast CAT control than using HRD as rig control.
HRD Rig Control using COM5 at 9600 bps.
Just so it gets frequency, etc. Otherwise I don’t use it.
WSJTX UDP to HRD Logbook.
WSJTX UDP to JTAlert with no forwarding. JTAlert is quicker this way.

Nice article….. You say “With QSO forwarding in HRD Logbook there’s no need to use JTAlert, although JTAlert is still beneficial to many users, including myself.” This is what I am looking for. My WSJT-X forwards contacts to HRD Logbook…. I like that… but how do you get JTAlerts not to send its contacts to HRD logbook as well but still have JTAlerts function as it should?

Howdy!
I’m a newer ham with a General license with a Yaesu FT450D. I installed HRD and WSJT-X and haven’t been able to align the two until after watching your video.

Thanks again.

Thanks for this very helpful how-to. This was exactly what i was looking for. I’ve tried for hours to get HRD and WSJT-X talking together. Thanks to you i found out, i have to set HRD to accept the forwarding… i didn’t knew that. I thought, just running the network server of the HRD logbook should do the job… my mistake. Now it works!

Thank you!

Roger, love your website and youtube channel! Thanks so much to you and your guests for all the great info.
I need your help in getting my Yaesu FTDX10 to work with WSJT-X and Ham Radio Deluxe. I’ve tried everything I can, but no go. I’m getting a wide orange band running down the middle of my WSJT-X graph at 1500, and I must have some settings wrong in my rig, HRD, or WSJT-X. I also use GridTracker and its accompanying Call Roster. I’d be okay with you taking control of my PC and getting this to work, or perhaps step by step instructions. I use HRD Logbook, but can’t get it to automatically upload from WSJT-X or LoTW or QRZ logbook; maybe need one ADIF logbook in one place on my pc? Sorry, but I’m new to this great hobby. I’d sure appreciate your help, especially having just gotten out of the hospital a few weeks ago from having Covid pneumonia! Thanks so much!

RIch, please forgive me for accidentally writing Roger in my earlier post. I just got out of the hospital a few weeks ago from having Covid pneumonia, so I’m still slow!

Hi Rich,
Thanks so much for getting back so fast! My fault entirely; totally coincidental, but the problem occurred exactly after a Microsoft update, so I assumed that messed up the HRD, but it was me, who accidentally must have hit the V/M button on the front of my Yaesu FTDX10. Once I pressed the V/M button on the DX10, WSJT-X worked fine. But I have to say I’m still having problems with HRD logbook automatically updating from LoTW. I’m thinking of switching my logging software to Log4OM, especially after watching your fantastic videos and your website tutorials. Log4OM seems so much less cluttered and easier to use than HRD, and HRD still does not have full FTDX10 integration, which may be causing my logbook problems. Would I still need Omnirig with Log4OM if I had the CAT driver installed from Yaesu for the FTDX10? And, thanks so much again for all your wonderful instructional videos, your website, and your patreons and guests!
73s!

Rich,
YOU are AMAZING! Thanks so much, Brother! Your website and YouTube channel are beyond great. I went to the Yaesu forum link you provided, and joined, but no mention of the FTDX10 with OmniRig config yet. I can’t thank you enough for all your help. I’m going through your YouTube channel and website to see if there’s anymore info for settings on Log4OM with GridTracker, WSJT-X, and my FTDX10, that I may have missed. Again, thank you so much!
73s!

Rich,
Thanks so much for all your help and insight! Your website and YouTube channel are of infinite help! I installed and have been successfully navigating with Log4OM, WSJT-X, and GridTracker. But, there doesn’t seem to be a configuration in OmniRig for the Yaesu FTDX10, although online they say it should be there. Am I missing something?
And, I hope I have everything configured correctly.
Thanks so much, again!

Thanks for the guide, I followed the settings in both software but the LOG transfer from WSJT-x and HRD logbook does not work, what can be the problem?

Thank you and best 73 de IW0RZB

Yes, the port 2333 was correct on both software, as indicated i start before HRD Logbook and after WSJTX but it does not work, there is another way to check the problem?
