That's what it looks like when the COM port disappears.
Check your shack grounding. In some cases there are too many grounds. Try
using just 1 ground from your rig -- everything else is already grounded to
the rig via the cables. Also...if you have the old "rod in the ground" outside
your shack try grounding to the ground lug on an electrical socket instead.

Nic G3YEG here.
I have been running a 9700 with wsjt under windows 11 for over a year without
any significant issues up to RC6
Loaded RC7 recently and noted that while running FT8 on 144 I was seeing wsjt
stopping in the tx cycle (no error message) and sometimes with an error
message. It didnt have this problem when running 432 Q65 tx.
This looked like an RFI issue as reducing the power output of the 9700 on 144
seemed to make it go away. However it did still occur but not as frequently.
Tried all sorts of ferrites etc and still it persisted.
This was the error message when it fell over the other day. I have seen other
error messages
I was not sure that is an rfi issue or pc issue or hamlib as it looks like it
errored when starting the tx cycle ?

Yesterday I tried running with an old version of Hamlib (4.5.4) and it ran
cleanly for several hours with no issues at all !!
Anyone any ideas ?
Thanks Nic G3YEG
