[wsjt-devel] when starting WSJT-X rig defaults to "ADAT www.adat.ch" and not the wanted rig

[Peter S. <vk...@gm...>]

Hi,
 for some time now (all of the 2.7 variants and now 2.8) when I open
WJST-X or swap between configurations, I end up with a rig control error
and the current rig is shown to be "ADAT www.adat.ch" and not the
previously selected FLRIG setting.

I have learned to live with this for a while and today decided I should
report this difficulty for evaluation.

I use the FLRIG interface as it lets me see on my PC desktop what the SWR,
power out and other settings of my two icom rigs as I do a lot of operating
from the comfort of the house rather than the 50 metre journey to my shack
in the stables shed.

So far I have tried an empty INI file a few times and the error occurs with
each iteration of testing I do, where I have set up multiple configurations.

If I leave it as a SINGLE configuration then there is no error seen. Once I
add a second or more configuration using FLRIG as the rig type I start
seeing the Rig control error when starting WSJT-X or swapping
configurations.

When testing, if I use a direct connection (IC-7610) then I can add
multiple configurations and not see an error when starting or swapping
configs so the error seems to be confined to having FLRIG selected as a rig
type.

PC is a Windows 10 X64 O/S which is current with all updates.

I have noticed that in the WSJT-X.INI file, that FLRig is shown in there
with a trailing space and has inverted commas in some instances and in
differently in other config (quite a puzzle for me), where as other entries
are not shown like that, here are some examples from my BIG ini file that
has about 8 configurations in it

Rig=Icom IC-7610
Rig=FLRig FLRig
Rig="FLRig "
Rig=FLRig IC-7610(FLRig)

hope I have no missed anything, any help would be appreciated
