Hi Mike,
I'll add to the PTT complaints but for a different reason. Running the
latest g4wjs-hamlib and R5272
I have a TenTec OMNI VII.
PTT via CAT
Passes "Test" but won't stay keyed for transmit for more than 1 second
and gets a rig error.
Nothing showed up in release version in the trace log (no file at
all…I thought errors were supposed to show up there now?)
I think you are referring to Hamlib errors there, they will show up but
the failure is not a Hamlib error as such - it is a failure return from
a Hamlib function. The error_check() function below traps them and
causes WSJT-X to pop up an error message box. In that case the "Show
details..." button explains what went wrong.
So I compiled in trace debug which is attached.
Burps on this request:
// we can only probe current VFO unless rig supports reading
// the other one directly because we can't glitch the Rx
#if WSJT_TRACE_CAT && WSJT_TRACE_CAT_POLLS
qDebug () << "HamlibTransceiver::poll rig_get_freq other VFO";
#endif
error_check (rig_get_freq (rig_.data ()
, reversed_
? (rig_->state.vfo_list & RIG_VFO_A ? RIG_VFO_A : RIG_VFO_MAIN)
: (rig_->state.vfo_list &
RIG_VFO_B ? RIG_VFO_B : RIG_VFO_SUB)
, &f), tr ("getting current VFO frequency"));
Seems it's trying to read RIG_VFO_SUB now which it's never done before.
Looks like it wants the backend to have this:
rig->state.vfo_list=RIG_VFO_A | RIG_VFO_B;
But that setting of vfio_list is hardly in any backends that I can
find so that doesn't seem like a good solution.
Hmmm, that code hasn't changed recently. OTOH that looks like the rig
polling code, specifically the poll that gets done if the rig/WSJT-X are
in split mode - maybe split mode hasn't been tried before on that rig?
As for the Hamlib vfo_list variable, that is pretty fundamental, if
that's not set up then all sorts of problems will happen. But I am sure
it is set as the front end gathers the VFOs from the rig backend
frequency ranges - see src/rig.c line 379 for how that happens.
What is the error message detail from the pop up message box?

Hi Allan & All
Yes to both questions Bill. Win 7 and usual USB 4 port. I have
just heard from a friend VK4ZB, he has the same issue. He is using
Win 7 also.
OK, I have tracked down the main issue with this PTT problem. You can
work around it for now by changing the CAT serial port to something
other than the PTT serial port.
Change the "Rig" temporarily to something that enables the CAT serial
port field then change the CAT serial port field, blank is a good
choice, then change "Rig" back to "None". That should get the PTT
signal going again until I sort it out properly.

Interesting! It is beginning to look like a change to resolve an issue
on Linux systems make have caused a regerssion on Windows :(
Can you confirm that you are using MS Windows and you have selected the
correct serial port for PTT in the "Settings->Radio" page? I ask the
last because there is a minor fault in v1.5.0-rc1 such that it doesn't
report not being able to open the PTT serial port.
