[Hamlib-developer] Rig Control Error

[<prb...@gm...>]

Hi,

 

I hope you can help.

 

I only ever use my IC705 on WSJT-X and have been off air for over a year.

 

I can back to my radio / PC and saw a new version 3.0 available.

 

I downloaded this and found it was a developers version, but it also didn't
seem to work, so I tried to install 2.5.4 version again which now wouldnt
work also?

 

I have uninstalled this and now installed 2.7.0

 

I have an IC705 and am running a Windows 10 PC

 

The Audio into the PC seems to work, I can see stations calling but I have
no CAT control?

 

I have all of the settings back as they were when it worked last. The same
PC, the same antenna, the Same USB lead (Tried others and still the same)

 

I'm not very good at technical things, I have your document "How to deal
with Rig control errors" but get a bit lost.

 

Number 3. says update Hamlib to the latest version, but I get an error when
I try,  "error loading Hamlib-4.dll  TLS Initialization failed"?

Number 4 says click to save menu on diagnostics mode? Which I don't
understand?

 

The error I get from the main screen is shown below.

 

If there is anyway you could assist me, that would be great.

 

Regards
