[Hamlib-developer] Problem with Hamlib / WSJT-X and Icom R8600

[David O. <djm...@gm...>]

Hi

Using WSJT-X 2.7.0 rc5 with Hamlib 4.6 "git 2024-06-23T11:53:09Z".

I have been trying a remotely controlled Icom IC-R8600 using the Icom
Remote Utility with
WSJT-X 2.7.0 rc5

Most of the time it works but occasionally there is a Hamlib Protocol
Error type "-8"
when reading the VFO frequency (see attached screenshot).

What does a Hamlib error "-8" actually mean?
Is there some way to find out more about what has gone wrong?
"Protocol Error" by itself could mean lots of things such as an "FA"
CIV reply or a reply
to a different command or no reply at all.

Direct control (usb connection) of the IC-R8600 from WSJT-X always
works without any errors.
