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

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

Hi,
 if there is anyone who reads this who is familiar with the source code for
WSJT-X who could help me identify how the list of rigs in the 'RADIO' tab
gets populated?  I have been wandering through the source (downloaded a
tarball from the main WSJT-X web site) but my level of experience is just
scripting, its all a bit much for me.

My theory at this point is the list of rigs has an error in it or the way
the list is read has an error.  In ver 2.61 the rig list showed the entry
for FLrig as being: "FLRig FLRig"  and the INI file shows it as: Rig=FLRig
FLRig

When I go to one of the 2.7x version, the entry for FLRig is just : "FLRig"
and in the INI file it is:  Rig="FLRig "

next test...

On my ver 2.61 folder if I change the libhamlib-4.dll to be a newer version
the wheels fall off with the same problems at startup (radio selection goes
back to Adat and a com port) I see on ver 2.7x  BUT if I try the reverse
and install an OLD libhamlib-4.dll into the ver 2.7x folder it does not
improve things sadly but will recheck this in the morning (8pm local and
feeling tired)

Does WSJT-X read the list of rigs from the Hamlib DLL file to populate the
list of rigs on the radio TAB of the Settings screen?  as it feels like
that is what is happening as when I change the Hamlib DLL's, the entry for
FLRig changes inside WSJT-X.

If this a Hamlib error, then I guess I need to contact Mike but until I can
clarify where it is I am lost to know where to look.

Regards,
Peter vk5pj
