I now have sat32/scope working nicely. last week before I added the cat v cable and upgraded to the scope version, I had set up wstj to the ic 9700. I had not actually used it or decoded any signals. It occurred to me that WSJT is controlled only thru usb. I dont see any option to run cat to the wsjt and get audio to it just like sat32 scope? I hope some one has accomplished this. I am hoping to try at least to hear /decode something from Reno on WSJT, but I expect it will be a tall order. Thanks Jim KI6WJ
Nice progress, Jim. For WSJT, Just be sure SatPC32 is exited, then run WSJT. Configure to use only the USB port, and it will use that for both audio and rig control! It’s easy. Just don’t run them both (SatPC32 and WSJT) at the same time and it all works great. Back and forth between them is nice.

Hi James,
Glad you got SatPC32 working. By using the separate CAT cable you still will be able to use computer control of frequencies etc, even with other programs if they use CI-V commands. Just specify the CAT com port and speed and radio address (if needed). Now, the scope function will occupy your usb port and if you try to use other software at the same time with the IC-9700 you will create conflicts. You might try virtual serial port (VSP) software to split that port. Not sure if that will work.
However, help me understand why you would want to run SatPC32 together with WSJT? Are you planning to use weak signal digital communication over satellites?
If you are just interested in the "scope" function for the IC-9700 got to: https://icom.va2fsq.com/win4icomsuite-overview/ and try the software. It will work with WSJT and gives you a scope.
