[Hamlib-developer] Rig control errors

[Dave W. <ds...@ou...>]

Dear Hamlib Developers

I am getting a very random Rig Control error.
It appears to be totally random and does not appear to be RF related. In fact most of it happens when the radio is not transmitting.
Using WSJTX for FT8, mostly when receiving. Radio is Yaesu FTX-1, currently with latest firmware.
Windows 11 with latest everything, drivers software and updates. This has been happening since using my FTX-1 for 6 months plus
Everything is up to date, all software and drivers. I have tried many different USB cables with and without ferrites.
All cables have ferrites on both ends.
Below is one of these errors
