I have attempted to use WSJT-X ver 2.1.0 a few more times but continue to be plagued by rig control failure messages. I have found that WSJT-X rig control failures are associated with OmniRig Client declarations "Status: Rig not responding. However, OmniRig seems to issue these messages when when communication is still good. For example, with OmniRig Poll Int = 250 and Timeout = 1000, Baud 38400, simply opening the Client "Dialog" window and then closing it with "OK" will result in a "Rig not responding" message and WSJT-X rig control error.
May I suggest that WSJT-X should be desensitized from these transient OmniRig fault reports by only responding if they persist for x seconds. Typical OmniRig Client Event report: Dialog VISIBLE Rig type: WSJT-X Dialog invisible Status: Rig is not responding Status: Rig is not responding Status: Rig is not responding Status: On-line Typical station controller log for WSJT-X recovery from loss of rig control: 1:06:53.976 New IF - IF00010136055 003700005020010000; 1:06:53.985 New FA - FA00010136055; 1:06:53.987 New RX freq=10136055 1:06:53.988 split offset = 945 1:06:54.300 New IF - IF00010136000 003700005020010000; 1:06:54.309 New FA - FA00010136000; 1:06:54.311 New RX freq=10136000 1:06:54.313 split offset = 1000 My station controller is currently set to alarm if TS-590 data is not received for 5 seconds. There is no alarm for events that cause WSJT-X ver 2.1.0 to abandon rig control. BTW - OmniRIg setting "Timeout" does not behave as I had expected. I expected it to re-try for timeout period and then, if no response received, declare rig not responding. What it actually does is send nothing for timeout period then resume polling by repeating the command that had no response. If it missed a reply that was actually sent then it cannot recover until timeout period has elapsed. None of this is an issue with WSJT-X ver 2.0.1. 73, Andy, k3wyc
