CalicoCAT: New Serial CAT Control Plugin for SDR#
Thanks to Stephen 'Tag' Loomis (N0TTL) for submitting news about his new plugin called 'CalicoCAT' which is a serial CAT control plugin for SDR#. The plugin emulates the Kenwood TS-2000 CAT control command set, and is used to allow SDR# to communicate with other software running on the PC via a virtual serial port. To create a virtual serial port you can use free software like com0com.
Stephen notes that the plugin could be used to allow software like WSJT-X to control SDR#. For example you could use it to automatically change bands at certain times.
Anyone know where to find this now? The links in the post and comments do not appear to work. Thanks.
Does not work with SDR# v1862, unfortunateky.
Is there a new release?
Where can I download this plugin, the link is not working

I can get WSJT-X to work with SDR# if I use virtual ports but how do I tie in the physical port control via my rigblaster? Can’t seem to tie that in with Omnirig or com0com. I use COM port 8 for CAT and port 5 for PTT / audio via the RigBlaster.
Is it possible to connect Kenwood TS-850s if baud rate only 4800? Can I use any other transceiver except TS-2000? Thanks!
While I can get sdr# to work with other programs with Calico, I can’t get sdr# to work with
PowerSDR using Calico. Anyone have success with that?

Is this because they are both “CAT Receivers” and not CAT originators?
Great, it works with Tmate, set in Kenwood mode via VSPE (Connector). Now SDR# with this tuning knob looks like a real radio !! No more mouse wheel !!
When I saw this post, I thought that someone had figured out how to use a CueCat for SDR, somehow.
