I do not use the radio interface on FT8 for that exact reason. WSJT will run
without it. Use FT8 on one side of the screen with no radio control and a
logging program on the other side of the screen with radio control.
It can be done.

FYI all - the RTTY Roundup rules now officially include FT8 as an allowed mode,
and they added a new rule (7.4 I think) to clarify which FT8 is allowed and how
it affects your Unlimited status.
I haven't yet tried to run Writelog and WSJT at the same time but I expect it
won't go well, because they both want to run the radio.

This idea of FT8 and RTTY Roundup got my interest. I just might get
in it this year. My main rig FT1k Mark5 will not do FT8. My second
rig TS870 and computer will operate FT8 just fine. they both have
Writelog on them. Maybe I could do a merge from second radio/computer
to main computer ? Then again maybe Writelog will give us a real
update
including FT8 support.
