Hey everyone, I’m starting to dabble in JS8call and FT8, but the software lacks native support for C-Media PTT via GPIO. I’ve found very limited info about setting the PTT in WSJT-X to ‘none’ and having hamlib or rigctld OR flrig PTT the radio since they all support C-Media PTT. Does anyone have experience with using this functionality? Fldigi and VARA both support C-Media PTT natively, so I’m unfamiliar with interfacing an application like WSJT-X or JS8call to a secondary rig control system.

I’m running a Codan NGT-MR with a DRA65 sound card interface with custom cables and a prototype balancing transformer add-on (Codan is floating 600 ohm balanced audio in.)

Thanks for reading!!
