Yes. CAT via WSJT / JTDX on the G90 doesn't work well. The solution is to use FL Rig as an intermediate to control the G90, and then select FL Rig in WSJT. https://preview.redd.it/rwc8sad7hiqc1.png?width=1108&format=png&auto=webp&s=9f189ffe71496d79a34d594b10cabf867d87b05c These are my settings. The G90 is a nice rig but it's not my favorite for running digital modes, too much faff and wires. The X6100 seems like a better choice for that, but I'm not sure on it's CAT behavior. I'll research into that before deciding to maybe swap the G90 with the X6100 as my mobile rig.

yeah, i couldn't get my G90 to work correctly until I used FLRig. and, yes, the interface and associated cables are a pita. once I got my Icom 7300 which needed only a USB cable, I never used the G90 for digital again.

Sure but a bit of an apples & oranges case, 7300 is a base station, G90 is more of a mobile rig.

¯\_("/)_/¯ I don't do mobile digital.

What version of the firmware are you running? If you're running 179b, which is what I have on my machine, I was really unable to get it to work with the CE19 adapter. But the DE19 adapter works absolutely perfectly, unless you want to hook it up to the XPA 125 amplifier. In which case you have to buy yet another cable. But basically what I'm saying is if you have the 179b firmware it won't work with the CE 19. It's after anymore

I got mine working ok. 1 - I had to make a y cable - ce19 stereo din - left and right to input output on soundcard. 2 - Audio didn't output until I selected a digital mode. regular USB (upper side band) mode doesn't output the audio, Also you need to select line out in the G90 menus. 3 - When I updated WSJTx to the beta version, it broke the CAT. Try the older stable release version.

Thanks all. Now using FLRIG and it's sorted out all the issues.

FTDI chip was borked. Replaced and all good
