1. Configurazione in CatBkt2
- Aprire Configurazione
- Selezionare Profilo della radio da utilizzare
- Attivare l’opzione: DXLab Commander abilitato
- Salvare con Salva

2. Configurazione in WSJT-X / JTDX
- Menu: File → Impostazioni → Radio
- In Rig selezionare: DX Lab Suite Commander
- Confermare con OK

3. Configurazione in MSHV
- Menu: Opzioni → Controllo Interfaccia
- Sezione Network:
  - Server: 127.0.0.1
  - Port: 52002
- In RIG selezionare: DX Lab Suite Commander

Note tecniche
- CatBkt2 utilizza la porta TCP 52002 per il protocollo DXLab Commander.
- Ordine consigliato di avvio: CatBkt2 → WSJT-X/JTDX/MSHV

Version 1.1.0
- Various improvements
- Added several digital modes
- Added Scanner Plugin
- Added Icom IC‑7100 Memory Management Plugin (optional)

Hello,

My name is Daniel (LU4EG), and I am developing a satellite tracking program called EGSatTracker (https://eglogger.com.ar/Rotores2/home.php).
I recently installed CatBkt 1.17.1 and configured it to control my Kenwood TS-790A. It works perfectly.
I would like EGSatTracker to communicate directly with CatBkt through the LAN Protocol on port 52002, so that users can use CatBkt as the CAT interface for their radios.
I have successfully connected to CatBkt from a Visual Basic 6 test program and I can read the current frequency.

For example, I send:
[command:10](command:10)CmdGetFreq[parameters:0](parameters:0)

and CatBkt responds:
[CmdFreq:11](CmdFreq:11)145,000.000

However, I cannot find the correct command or format to SET the frequency.
I tried sending:

[command:10](command:10)CmdSetFreq[parameters:23](parameters:23)[xcvrfreq:10](xcvrfreq:10)145.800000

but the frequency of the TS-790A does not change.

Could you please tell me the exact LAN protocol commands and format that CatBkt 1.17.1 expects for:

1. Set RX frequency
2. Set TX frequency / Split frequency
3. Set operating mode (USB, LSB, FM)
4. Enable/disable Split

If there is any documentation or example code describing the CatBkt LAN Protocol, I would be very grateful if you could point me to it.
My goal is to make EGSatTracker communicate directly with CatBkt (or maybe you suggest to use DDE?).
Thank you very much for your work and for your help.

Best regards,
Daniel

Buongiorno,
ho aggiornato con la versione 1.21.0 e non mi apre piu il BKTClock ance se ho messo la spunta

Salve,
ho provato a scaricare l'ultimo aggiornamento di CATBKT, ma ricevo la segnalazione di virus.
Come posso risolvere il problema? Grazie.

BktTimeSync Version 1.21.0:
- Added real‑time Grid updates for WSJT‑X.
- Fixed an issue in the WSJT‑X Auto Grid IP input field, which now correctly accepts dots.
- Integrated full WSJT‑X handling directly into BktTimeSync, removing the need for external tools.
- Fixed various.

Hello, my first post here and I'll start by saying that I really love your BktTimeSync application.  Now that I have an ICOM iC-705 and I'm doing portable operations I've noticed two issues with the program that I wanted to bring to your attention.

1 - In the section for WSJT-X, the field for entering the IP, it does not allow the entry of periods(.) on my US keyboard running Windows 11 Pro

2 -I have my PC connected to my IC-705 with the serial port to receive GPS data including the time, coordinates, altitude and WW Locator (Grid Square).  My connection works for this.  I have both "Enable NTP" AND "Enable GPS" checked so in the event I don't have NTP I can get my clock from the GPS connection.  When both are enabled and I launch the application it does NOT query the GPS port to fill out the Coordinates, Altitude and most importantly the WW Locator so I can send it to WSJT-X.  Selecting "Sync Now" does not resolve it.  I have to uncheck "Enable NTP" and then press "Sync Now" to get it to fill out this information.  But once I do that the WSJT-X AutoGrid grays out and can't be used until I recheck "Enable NTP".
I would like to see that the application queries the NTP server AND the GPS at the "Sync every" interval selectable in the General Options as long as the user has enabled GPS.  I'd also like to see the WSJT-X Auto Grid have the settings and Send WW Locator available after the WW Locator is filled out.

If you would like to do a zoom call/screen share or need me to record a screen share for you to see these issues, please let me know.  Thanks again for the great app!

Joe

Hello, 

I synchronized my memories from my IC-7000u using ICOM CT-17 adapter and i noticed that all my TX Frequencies are displayed wrong.
When I transmit, it is the correct TX frequency transmitting from the radio.
All simplex memories are listed as 144.000.000.
All duplex memories of my repeaters that are -600khz are listed as 143.000.000. It doesn't matter if they are on 70cm or 2m, it is always 2m on the TX side.

Is this a bug or I'm misunderstanding the meaning of this field? 

Thank you.
Sabin

I must have wrongfully clicked something and lost my on-screen clock.  I uninstalled the app, downloaded latest version, and still no clock.  I am using a Windows 10 PC.  Works fine on my Win 11 PC.  Help please. de W3US
