I use Virtual Serial Port Emulator to create a serial port "splitter".
My CAT interface port specified in PowerSDR (running an ANAN-100) is
'split'.
Then Writelog and WSJT-X can both access the 'split' serial port and can
get/send freq data and have PTT support.
COM 1 is setup for PowerSDR CAT. Then VSPE creates a split COM1 = COM4.
Up to 4 devices can supposedly share the port.
Writelog and WSJT-X both talk to COM4.
Works well.

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.

It is my understanding that ARRL intends to permit FT8 QSOs to count
during the 2019 ARRL RTTY Roundup in January. The ARRL web site still
has the 2018 rules, so can't confirm this has been announced, but I
have seen communication from W9JJ that it will happen.
This could have some rather interesting side effects and strategy
impacts.
It may also have an impact on WL users. What will be the best way to
integrate RTTY and FT8 into Writelog for the contest?
