You need to upgrade to 2.1.2
There was an Icom bug that was fixed and probably is what you're seeing.

Hello WSJT,

  

I am having problems with CAT control between WSJT-X and my Icom IC-7800.

  

Previously, I was able to control the IC-7800 from WSJT-X without any problems. 
 But now, I cannot control the radio from WSJT-X.

  

I am using WSJT-X version 2.1.1.  The computer operating system is Windows 10.

  

Currently, when I specify the radio setting in WSJT-X as “none,” I am able to 
cause the “Tune” button to make the IC-7800 to go into transmit.  Also, in 
“none,” WSJT-X properly decodes FT-8 and transmits properly.

  

But when I specify in the “Radio” settings for the IC-7800, the Tune no longer 
works and also I sometimes get an error message in WSJT-X that says there is a 
hamlib error in reading the radio’s vfo (or something similar).  But the 
incoming FT-8 is still properly decoded.

  

I know that my port designation and baud rate are correct because they are the 
same that my logging program uses and which continues to properly control the 
radio.  (When using WSJT-X, the logging program is not running so that the COM 
port will not be seized by that logging program.)

  

My guess is that WSJT-X has a setting somewhere that is not properly engaged.  
Further, I believe that the reason that the “Tune” does not work is that the 
CAT function is locked up when WSJT-X is trying to communicate with the radio.

  

What do you suggest I try?

  

  

Another issue: when I bail out of WSJT-X and then try to again launch it, I get 
the following error message: 

  



  

  

  

  

  

  

  

I can only re-launch WSJT-X by using Task Manager to stop wsjtx.exe.

  

What is going on?

  

  

If you are available by telephone, my landline number is (818) 716-0888 and my 
mobile phone is (818) 970-4826.

  

  

Thank you & 73,

  

Mark, K6FG
