After operating and changing bands; I will use my tuner; and the program will either hang or will pop up a window saying the rig has become unresponsive.  I can click 'retry' sometimes and it'll be ok - but a consistent issue that will happen is it will either become completely unresponsive - with TX stuck; or I will get an error message saying hamlib I/O has suffered an error, and TX is stuck.


Hi!

I have IC706 with LDG Z-100Plus. Auto tuning is set from rig's menu and control cable exists between rig and LDG. So it will start tuning process every time on first TX when band is changed. Normally that 1st TX is pressing "tune" button of wsjt-x after band change.

It is completely normal getting wsjt-x prompt "rig not responding" 99% of the time.

That is because rigctld does run to timeout because rig is not responding to cat commands during tuning. And LDG has (according to manual) 1,5 sec tail after the best match is set. Said according to manual, as sometimes I feel that the delay from LDG led showing ok to time it drops TX feels much longer.

Answering "Retry" *after LDG has dropped rig's TX* will continue normal operation.

That could, maybe, be fixed by setting rigctld timeout bigger. But that cannot be done via wsjt-x radio setup. Then rigctld must be started as separate command line process to get wanted parameters in use, and after that open the wsjt-x with setting radio/Hamlib Net rigctl/localhost:4532 to get access to rigctld.

I have been too lazy to test this longer timeout, just accepted that I need to press "retry" after every tuning session.

Os here is Fedora 27 linux.
With my little experience from past years I wonder how you can stand Vista? Slowest OS I have never seen. I'm sure that it makes also a part of your problems. Not everything is coming from RF leaks as suspected here.
