New hamlib for installation directions #1 Shut down WSJTX
#2 Download either the 32-bit or 64-bit DLL matching the 32/64-bit version of WSJTX -- hopefully your browser doesn't block it but may warn you multiple times. If you can do a "Save As" you can save it directly in the appropriate WSJTX directory C:\WSJT\WSJTX\bin and replace the libhamlib-4.dll that is there. http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net/dll32/libhamlib-4.dll http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net/dll64/libhamlib-4.dll Linux/Unix/Mac users need to compile the latest tar file from http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net Note: If compiling on Unix-like systems please uninstall any Hamlib package you have before installing the new build #3 If you don't save directly you need to open a file browser and move the file that way. If you're not familiar with that here's a video on the file browser - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyVqCJrs9dk Once installed on Linux do "ldconfig". rigctl --version should then show a relatively recent date of the download Then if you still have the problem... Please place this file as described below https://www.dropbox.com/s/t52ngcalsgnpm8m/wsjtx_log_config.ini?dl=0 C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\WSJT-X The WSJT-X_Rigcontrol.log file will be in the same location For Linux put it in ~/.config The WSJT-X_Rigcontrol.log file will be here: ~/.local/share/WSJT-X For MacOS put it in /Users/[username]/Library/Preferences Restart WSJT-X and duplicate the problem. Shut down WSJT-X Then send me the WSJT-X_RigControl.log file Mike W9MDB On Monday, August 28, 2023 at 02:45:23 AM CDT, Mark Galbraith via wsjt-devel <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: When using Shift-click on the waterfall to set the TX frequency, the “Rig Control Error” popup is displayed.

My configuration is as follows: Radio: Yaesu FT-710 Software stack: * Win4YaesuSuite (latest version) * Software control of the radio. Also provides virtual COM ports (using com0com) to allow additional software to access the CAT control stream. * CAT connection to radio on COM3. Provides CAT virtual CAT connections on COM7, COM9, COM11, COM13, and COM15. * 3rd party software connections are mentioned below. COM13 and COM15 connections are used for unrelated programs not involved in FT8/FT4 operation. * DXLabs Suite (latest version) * Has additional software control features for the radio but lacked the virtual COM support. Control program needed to support additional functions of the suite. * Used for general logging and other functions. * Connects to CAT interface on COM9 * N1MM+ (latest version) * Used for contest logging. * Connects to CAT interface on COM11 * WSJT-X * Normally use 2.6.1. Downloaded 2.7.0-RC2 to check out some of the new features. * Connects to CAT interface on COM7 * JTAlert for WSJT-X (latest version) * Better visual representation of decodes. The DXLabs and N1MM+ portions of the stack are not involved in this error as they are not in the stack between WSJT-X and the radio. They are shown for completeness. Please let me know if you have any questions or need more information to help track this down. For now I have reverted back to v2.6.1 so I can continue working FT8/FT4. 73 -.. . / -- .- .-. -.- / -. --... -.-- -..
