For the regular WSJTX place this file in the same location as WSJT-X.ini
You will find WSJT-X_RigControl.log in the same location.

    Hallo Uwe,   
After your mail, I checked, and tried to repair..... 
My findings, the versions of Hamlib are NOT the same for the versions I 
checked, more detail in below text: 
 
     
  Follows Radio dial (without holding Ctrl-key):   WSJT-X v2.7.1-devel 
250106-rc8 improved PLUS with Hamlib 4.6 ~git 2024-12-04T23:15:35Z SHA=be045d 
64-bit       Does NOT follow Radio dial (even when holding Ctrl-key), it reads 
the frequency from the radio only once, during program start:   WSJT-X 
v2.7.0-rc8 with Hamlib 4.6~git 2023-12-13T23:28:31Z SHA=f81d49 64-bit  
 
In the version WSJT-X v2.7.0-rc8, I tried as you mentioned to update the 
version Hamlib, but all that happened was more than an hour the 
'downloading...' message. I stopped trying after I did a 2nd attempt. Then I 
grabbed the hamlib.dll version that came when installing the correct working 
wsjt-firmware (Hamlib 4.6 ~git 2024-12-04T23:15:35Z SHA=be045d 64-bit), 
installed the non-functional version again, and pasted the copied Hamlib.dll. 
NO LUCK EITHER.....the WSJT-X v2.7.0-rc8 still does NOT follow the VFO-dial! I 
opened the tab-field under 'radio' to check whether it uses the expected hamlib 
as from the functional version, and it did. 
 
Then per advice from Mike W9MDB, I have tried logging the faulty version WSJT-X 
v2.7.0-rc8, but as this isn't a debug version, it doesn't let me create a 
log_file. We can't compare to a logfile I was able to produce from the version 
which DOES follow the frequency-dial on the TS2000x... 
 
Conclusion: 
It is not the hamlib.dll which causes the WSJT-X v2.7.0-rc8 no longer to follow 
the radio dial....

Gerrie,       FYI: WSJT-X v2.7.1-devel 250106-RC8 improved PLUS and WSJT-X 
v2.7.0-rc8 have the identical Hamlib version (and have been compiled on the 
same computer). And for both program versions, you can very easily update 
hamlib with one click (Windows only). 

Furthermore, If you are working on Windows, you only need to replace a single 
file ("libhamlib-4.dll") if there is any problem with your rig after a program 
update which often brings also a new Hamlib version. It is always the same! 
I've even created a tutorial about how to deal with rig control errors 
(available in English and German). 

My recommendation:  If you have a "libhamlib-4.dll" version which works well 
with your rig, backup it manually, so you can restore it in case the Update 
Hamlib doesn't work for you - for whatever reason. I really don't understand 
why so many OMs find it so difficult ...

  Hello Mike, 
 
I think that is exactly the issue... 
libhamlib-4.dll as it is distributed along with  WSTJ-X v2.7.1-devel 250106-RC8 
improved PLUS does follow the frequency-dial on the tS2000x like one would 
expect. 
However when I open the directory after I install WSJT-X v2.7.0-rc8, I see a 
libhamlib-4_new.dll along with a libhamlib-4.dll. And then is doesn't follow 
the frequency_dial anymore.

Today I checked different versions of wsjt-x in combination to a TS2000x, 
because I was checking some new features together with Charles, G3WDG.  
 
My observation was in WSJT-X v2.7.0-rc8, the firmware does not follow the 
radio-dial, even not when holding Ctrl pressed. For that reason and for your 
team to possibly make the debugging easier, I compared older versions up to the 
point the problem occurred (see list below).   
I find the feature that the wsjt-x firmware simply follows the radio-dial very 
convenient, not needing to use the keyboard shortcuts. I simply set the 
Multi/CH dial on the TS2000x to 1kHz steps and can change very fast between 
different stations in EME which mostly report their frequency in rounded kHz 
steps.        Follows Radio dial (even without holding Ctrl-key):   
WSJT-X v2.7.1-devel 241014-rc7 improved AL PLUS 
WSJT-X v2.7.1-devel 241014-rc7 improved PLUS 
WSJT-X v2.7.1-devel 250106-rc8 improved PLUS           Does NOT follows Radio 
dial (even with holding Ctrl-key):   WSJT-X v2.7.0-rc8 
 
 
Hope it helps, will I receive feedback in my personal mail?
