Re: [Hamlib-developer] Rig Control Error

[Uwe, D. <dg...@gm...>]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the two files. This helps a lot!

As you/we can see from the file "WSJT-X_rigControl.log", there are 
numerous "Communication timed out" errors. Looks to me as if the program 
cannot connect to your rig at all. This can only be due to either a 
hardware defect (defective USB cable, loose plug, etc.) or incorrect 
settings for the COM port, baud rate, etc., or that the COM port in 
question is already occupied by another program, or that your firewall 
is blocking the connection.

Very unlikely that it's due to the Hamlib driver, because there is no 
connection at all. Can you connect to your rig in other ways? For 
example, via OmniRig?

As far as I remember, Windows asks once for each new program version 
whether you want to allow network communication. Did you perhaps 
accidentally click “No”? If so, you will need to correct this in the 
Windows Firewall settings.

73 de DG2YCB,
Uwe
