There's actually another problem going on.I worked with Al a bit this afternoon using rigctld.Al is the 2nd person I'm working with on the same problem....after this sequence hamlib just loops around the network_flush() routine and never returns from it causing WSJT-X to lock up. So I'm making some debug info to track it down....hopefully have something figured out tomorrow since Al can reproduce this easily. This is apparently a common complaint from the Flex users between lockups and crashes using the flex6xxx backend. de Mike W9MDB

I a normal situation the ID; following the first RX, receives an ID909; response in 100msec and the second RX is not sent. AL, K0VM Hi Al, that's interesting and surprising. The whole point of the ID commands is to know that the "rig" has completed the prior command. Because the Kenwood style CAT protocol that is used by SmartSDR, Elecraft and Yaesu as well these days, has no acknowledgement of set commands; we have no way of telling when it is safe to send another command. The ID command is used because it is very fast and changes nothing at the rig, it is effectively a no-op with an acknowledgement for when the prior command has been processed. Hard to say without a trace from WSJT-X, but I would guess that the RX command is taking some time and the timeout is too short so it is being retried. So I have to wonder why SSDR and the Flex are taking more than one second to respond to the command sequence "RX;ID;", that's glacial! You can temporarily adjust the Hamlib timeout by creating a text file in the WSJT-X log files directory ("Menu->File->Open log file directory") called hamlib_settings.json and put the following into it: { "config": { "timeout": "2000" } } That will adjust the command timeout to 2 seconds (the default command timeout for the Flex6xxx driver is 600 mS). Please give it a try and see if that stops the hang up problem? 73 Bill G4WJS. _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
