Could the code response to be that be if a USB identity cannot be found on a call to it then either a USB enumeration is done or if that's not possible (I don't know if that can be done from app code) then an error gets thrown? Just a thought so this kind of situation is handled gracefully?

Hi, just after WSJT-X starts on my machine there's a bit of screen writing jumble in the status bar that appears for a few seconds, as screen grab attached.  It clears itself but presumably ideally shouldn't be there!  W10 x64 It's also present in 2.5.0-RC3 Alan G0TLK

The indicated frequency on a counter will not change as you are transmitting a 50Hz wide signal within a frequency range defined by the upper sideband width.  The position of your 50Hz wide transmission will vary within that sideband width but you will need a good spectrum analyser to see it.
