Re: [wsjt-devel] Fw: Omnirig error message

[Christopher W. <ch...@wa...>]

I see this error regularly with OmniRig, Log4OM and WSJTX. All are running
as a regular user, and this only seems to happen after the system has been
booted for a while. Sometimes restarting all the apps helps, sometimes
resetting com ports helps, sometimes rebooting helps, sometimes none of
these help. This has been going on for at least 3 years, and I've never
really seen an improvement or found a solid way to troubleshoot.

Not much to add, but I wanted to give some moral support.
