Setting up Swisslog and WSJT-X for communication with IC7300

[JW6VDA]

Hello everybody. I have struggled for more than one year now with how to set up WSJT-X and Swisslog so that both programmes can access my Icom IC7300. The Icom USB codec in my case has assigned COM8.

My computer is a Windows 7 laptop, 64 bits operating system.

Jordi has suggested I use Omnirig, but I cannot make both SL and WSJT-X talk to the radio simultaneously. There is something in the setup (possibly in OmniRig) that I fail to understand.

I have also tried com0com, but same there, no success. 

And yesterday I tried Eterlogic VSPE, http://www.eterlogic.com/Products.VSPE.html, but no success there either. (I tried to split COM8, creating a new COM , in my case COM1), and then WSJT-X connected to COM1, but Swisslog refused, and vice versa).

I tried, at a friends station, to use the server provided with his Microham Microkeyer II, and that worked flawlessly, but as I have no microkeyer myself, that doesn't help me. 

So, does anyone have a setup instruction for dummies (like me), that actually works, to get communication between IC7300, Swisslog and WSJT-x simultaneously?
