Re: [Hamlib-developer] RIG failure

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

Hi Robert,

The following two lines in your RigControl.log file indicate that the 
COM port you selected is already in use, which would explain the Rig 
Error message:
serial_open: serial port COM12 is already open
rig.c(1278):rig_open returning2(-22) Access denied

Do you happen to have any other programs open that are also accessing 
your rig?

Otherwise: Have you tried simply restarting your computer? Because a 
ws.exe process that’s hanging—for whatever reason—could also cause 
something like this. BTW: You usually don’t need to reinstall the 
program in cases like this, since there’s a specific reason for the 
problem that needs to be identified.

73 de DG2YCB,
Uwe
