How to connect Thetis to Ham Radio Deluxe via TCP/IP for rig control etc.

[GW4NNO]

Does anyone know how to connect Ham Radio Deluxe to Thetis via TCP/IP? I have Thetis connected to WSJTX via TCP/IP and that works great. I have the log book part of HRD connected to WSJTX and that also works, but how do I get rig control to work with Thetis and HRD?

AFAIK HRD does not support TCP/IP CAT.

Thank you I was hoping that was not the case but at least now I know!

HRD is going to rewrite their rig control logic in the future. They are actually completely rewriting HRD to be portable (e.g. Linux + MacOS)

HRD as of now should be able to connect as a TS-2000 to one of the Thetis CAT ports if you use virtual serial ports.

Thanks for that W9mdb. I may try cat via serial ports but don't have any virtual serial port software at the moment. I was hoping to avoid that! TCP/IP works so well with other stuff so lets hope HRD get it sorted soon.

Use this

Create a TCP/IP Port to 127.0.0.1:13013 (RAW) for example.
You can pick an available (i.e. empty) COM port for the redirector to use.

Set HRD to PowerSDR 115,200

Thanks Mike, I'll certainly look at that and give it a try!

I now have this working following Mike's suggestions. I have rig control of my Anan7000DLE mk ii from HRD to Thetis and logging direct from WSJTX. Thanks for all the help.
