Hi Michael,

You need to set JTAlert to automatically start WSJT-X and then N3FJP, with appropriate delays. In JTAlert: Settings >> Manage Settings >> Applications >> Auto-start. I use 1500 ms for WSJT-X and 15000 ms for whichever N3FJP program I am using at the time. WSJT-X does the rig interface and JTAlert does the logging to N3FJP.

When I try to start JTAlert first, I get a box that says "WSJT-X must be
running before JTAlert can continue." Also, all instructions regarding
N3FJP say it must be running before the digital program is started for
the logging API to work.

Getting ready for Field Day. I have the latest versions of WSJT-X
(2.2.1), JTAlert (2.16.8), and N3FJP Field Day Log (6.3).

My understanding is to start N3FJP > WSJT-X > JTAlert in that order. I
have followed the various tutorials and instructions for setting these
up. When I start WSJT-X, I get a "Rig Control Error" box asking to set
up the rig parameters (IC-7300). These are all correct. Running WSJT-X
by itself is no problem. Only when N3FJP is running do I have an issue.

I am obviously missing something. Any suggestions as to what?
