Hi John, It must be my “SiLabsUSBDriver”.
I just noticed that ‘sudo dmesg’ shows the following message whenever this issue occurs - always around the 4 or 5th time that WSJTX is switching from TX to RX: "005421.557360 IOUSBHostHIDDevice: IOUSBHostHIDDevice::interruptRetry: resetting device due to IO failures” I have uninstalled the SiLabs USB driver v 4.10.14. Then installed an earlier one from an older dmg I found on another machine: v4.10.13. That one does exactly the same. I don’t have any other issues with any other USB devices on the MacBook - so can only be the driver or radio itself. I will go back to SiLabs to see if they can provide advice here. Will also try log this with Yeasu. I would be interested to hear the exact setup that others also using the SiLabs driver (not sure if this is only limited to Yeasu) are using successfully: a) Exact version of MacOS (10.12.3 Beta (16D30a)) b) Version of SiLabs driver (I have tried both 4.10.14 and 4.10.13.) c) Radio Firmware version: (On my FT-991, Main Firmware Version = 02-16) One can find the version of SiLabs driver by done a “more /Library/Extensions/SiLabsUSBDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist” in a terminal: — <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>BuildMachineOSBuild</key> <string>14A283o</string> <key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key> <string>English</string> <key>CFBundleExecutable</key> <string>SiLabsUSBDriver</string> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.silabs.driver.CP210xVCPDriver</string> <key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key> <string>6.0</string> <key>CFBundleName</key> <string>SiLabsUSBDriver</string> <key>CFBundlePackageType</key> <string>KEXT</string> <key>CFBundleSignature</key> <string>????</string> <key>CFBundleVersion</key> <string>4.10.13</string>. <================== THE VERSION YOU ARE RUNNING ===== <key>DTCompiler</key> <string>com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0</string> <key>DTPlatformBuild</key> <string>6A1052d</string> <key>DTPlatformVersion</key> <string>GM</string> <key>DTSDKBuild</key> <string>13F26</string> <key>DTSDKName</key> <string>macosx10.9</string> <key>DTXcode</key> <string>0610</string> <key>DTXcodeBuild</key> <string>6A1052d</string> <key>IOKitPersonalities</key> — Best Regards Keith Zs6tw > > ------------------------------ > > > Message: 3 > Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2017 20:32:34 +0000 > From: John Nelson <j...@rmnjmn.co.uk> > Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Bug Report (WSJT-X v1.7.0 r7405 on Mac OS X) > (Keith Laaks) > To: WSJT software development <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > Message-ID: <ae663efb-ac0b-46b0-a587-daa14c39a...@rmnjmn.co.uk> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 > > Hi Keith, > > I managed to get the waterfall to freeze but only by disconnecting the USB > cable (Audio) from the SignaLink box which wasn?t turned on anyway.
