DIY Yaesu FTX-1 remote control software

bg7nzl

大家好，

由于 Yaesu FTX-1 目前还没有官方的远程控制方案，我根据公开的 CAT 手册，做了一个小型桌面软件，用来满足我自己的日常操作需求。

在此之前，我也实际使用过 rigctl、flrig 以及其他一些现有的 CAT 工具。其中有些体验上的问题，很可能只是因为 FTX-1 这台机器发布还不久，相关支持还在逐步完善中。但在我自己的使用场景下，总感觉整体的操作流程和“手感”不太顺，于是最终还是决定自己写一个更贴合 FTX-1 的工具。

这个软件我已经连续使用了一个多月，目前主要用于 FT8 操作，没有遇到稳定性问题。对我来说比较有帮助的点包括：

基于 CAT 的远程控制，不需要频繁接触机器本体

本地强台时可以非常快速地进行手动 Notch 调整

可以同时查看多个表头（S 表、输出功率、ALC、SWR 等）

在发射时更直观地观察输出状态，避免过度压缩

这个工具的目标并不是做一个通用的 CAT 控制器，而是尽量让 FTX-1 在远程和数字模式下用起来更顺手，尤其是提升实时状态可视化和交互体验。

目前界面已经支持多国语言，包括：
英语、中文、日语、俄语、德语、法语和西班牙语。

Windows 10 / 11 可用的预编译版本已经放在 GitHub 的 Releases 页面中：

👉 https://github.com/bg7nzl/ftx1ctl/releases

完整源代码也在同一个仓库中，欢迎查看。

这是一个基于公开 CAT 文档的非官方业余项目，分享出来只是希望对其他 FTX-1 用户（尤其是数字模式用户）有所帮助。
欢迎任何反馈或建议。

Testing revealed that JDTX can receive data using the Hamlib net mode, but it seems to be unstable.
Additionally, creating multiple TCP connections that resulted in problems caused several instances of unresponsive connections.
Furthermore, frequency patterns can also be implemented using AI models, eliminating the need for manual reading.

Thank you for the feedback! The issue has been identified and fixed, and it can now be downloaded from GitHub.

Previously, there was an unnecessary delay when processing CAT commands, which could potentially cause Hamlib/JTDX to time out under high-frequency control, leading to repeated reconnections. This issue has now been resolved. Additionally, a mechanism for reclaiming idle TCP connections has been added to prevent the accumulation of "zombie" connections.

Currently, the program performs a state synchronization read after a short delay when parameters change or a Hamlib instruction is executed. This eliminates the need for manual reads.

I remember that there was no automatic status reporting mechanism in the eight-gate system. Implementing this required a more complex process than simple polling, and it's not something we can implement at this time. If you manually modify parameters on the device, you still need to perform a full read.
We welcome your continued feedback on usage!

The UI has been completely updated. Now, the audio card and serial port are automatically selected; you just need to click "Connect" and it's done.

Please give this a star.

Hamlib Error: Invalid parameter When setting the current VFO mode,
Hamlib Error: Invalid parameter - When setting/unsetting the offset frequency mode.
It seems that the response might be timing out frequently.

Automatic reporting using the "Auto Information" command.
Additionally, should we also consider incorporating channel read/write operations?
When reading and writing channel frequencies with an MR, if there are sub-audible frequencies, it can be problematic. You need to load them into the VFO first before you can read the sub-audible frequencies.
The writing also reflects this, as his logic is simply too absurd.

BI7KGD I've seen the AI, and it can only be fully integrated by completely restructuring it. The information flow needs to be redesigned. Could you please tell me how to reproduce the two hamlib errors mentioned above? I haven't implemented these features yet; currently, I'm just using them with wsjt and jtdx.

bg7nzl Specifically, when using JDTX, it occasionally fails without any apparent action, and also produces errors even after tuning. This seems to be related to network communication issues.
It turns out that this notch was actually designed for this purpose. It's definitely effective against strong Japanese typhoons.

Support!

BI7ALG

Can other Yaesu radio stations be used?

bg7nzl

BI7ALG It might work; you can try it. The meter may not be accurate, and I'm doing this primarily to manually reduce the local noise when using FT8.

BI7KGD I've never encountered anything like that before, but my machine only operates on one frequency and doesn't perform any other tasks. It likely implements the most basic interface. I plan to revisit it later this year and rewrite it to support AI, as well as adding all the necessary features.
The original intention was to have a local station broadcasting to me, but halfway through the QSO, something suddenly appeared on the front end, making it impossible to hear anything. It's also a bit of a hassle to adjust the notch filter on the equipment hhhhhh.
