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

[Black M. <mdb...@ya...>]

The error code doesn't tell you any more than what you have now.

Could be some extra time is needed for remote operation.  The default timeout is 1000ms.

So...save this in hamlib_settings.json in the same location as WSJT-X.ini and let's bump up the timeout to 3000ms.

{
        "config": {
                "timeout": "3000"\
        }
}

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.
