PTT Method missing Nov 1, 2022 13:57:37 GMT

Looking to give JTDX a try on FT8 after using JSTX. On trying to set up the radio config for my IC718 I found the PTT method box empty and PTT test icon greyed out.

I have tried setting the rig to various different types but the problem remains. The PTT works fine on WSJT and I'm wondering if there might be some form of conflict between the two programs, although I did uninstall WSJT but again the problem remains.

I'm probably missing the obvious but any thoughts on this appreciated

You must be using VOX or RTS/DTR keying. Make sure the PTT selection in JTDX matches WSJTX if WSJTX is working. How is your PTT set up in WSJTX?

Yes, that's correct. I'm using RTS keying on WSJTX which works just fine.

The issue is that while the Vox / DTR / CAT / RTS options all show up with their appropriate radio buttons in WSJTX, the equivalent PTT Method box in the JTDX radio config is blank, ie all the options and associated buttons are missing.

Thanks for the link.

My software was 159-32 A.

Downloaded new software onto my old Windows 10 Lenovo Think Pad laptop (Which I still use to access the internet).

Low and behold, the PTT Method box was populated with the appropriate Icons and worked fine. Problem solved I thought.

Then downloaded new software onto brand new Windows 11 Idea pad 3 Lenovo laptop, (which is currrently only running WSJTX or JTDX) and problem was still there.

Starting to look like a computer / Operating system compatability problem.
