Well I think I have the answer to my question.  The backlight on my controller times out after 15 minutes of no activity on the user interface and no changes in TS-590 data.  I was alerted to an anomaly when the back light unexpectedly turned on.  The data appears to show that WSJT-X made 2 frequency changes, presumably with  the intention of testing the rig interface:

I would guess that this unnecessary test sometimes fails.

I am competent to monitor my rig's frequencies and take full responsibility if they are not what I intended.  Please give me the option to inhibit this check.

Andy,

WSJT-X uses a frequency set and read procedure to determine the VFO resolution. The test is done for a good reason and in either unnecessary nor optional. It only does that at initialization of the CAT connection. If it is doing that regularly and unprompted then the real problem is; why is the connection being reset? That happens when a non-recoverable error occurs.
