Hello,
DXLabs controls my Yaesu FT-950.
My Signalink-USB went belly-up and so, as a replacement, I bought a comparatively new product "Digirig".
My problem is that, for my FT-950, Digirig uses RS-232 to have PTT keying rather than VOX.
I knew that when reading its specs.
But I simply forgot DXLab uses RS-232 to run the FT-950.
So I have two RS-232 female connectors vying for the same RS-232 male port.
My Internet searches for a solution come up short but perhaps my "search wording" is not the best.
Is there a fix to this dilemma?
TIA for any assistance.

Jerome, If you are running WSJT-X You dont need Commander to control the radio. A DB-9 Switch should work. You can use WSJT-X, JTAlert or Gridtracker to load the QSO directly into DXKeeper.

Jerome, If you are running WSJT-X You dont need Commander to control the radio.
+ If you want the ability to double-click on a Spot Database Entry to QSY the radio, you need Commander controlling the radio.
A DB-9 Switch should work. You can use WSJT-X, JTAlert or Gridtracker to load the QSO directly into DXKeeper.
+ I'm not aware of any interoperation between GridTracker and DXKeeper.

+ Both WinWarbler and WSJT-X can direct Commander to appropriately switch your FT-950 between RX and TX. There is no need to connect another source of PTT switching to your FT-950.
