Patsy,

You noted OmniRig V2 ??? This is the version that accommodates up to 4-rigs and developed by an OM in Switzerland?

We've commented on that version in this Forum (some thread .. somewhere) that our team has worked with the developer of that version of OmniRig to resolve many issues in the application. To date we've not seen/experienced resolution to the issues noted with the developer.

We can only support the "original" OmniRig that accommodates 2-rigs. The most recent release of the "original" OmniRig by Alex is V1.19

Your post may be referring to using the Rig-2 of the original OmniRig as well, but not clear to my reading.

Have you ever had the radio working with CAT control on this or any other computer or is this the first time you have tried it?

So if it works with commander with the same physical connection to the same pc that indicates that something is set up wrong.

Is Fldigi running or any other software?

Hi KN4YHX,
Do you was able to use Log40M with your FT-747GX using Omnirig?
I've the same problem, tested all the options and combinations in Omnirig settings and still is not working.
Its working with a custome CAT-FT747 soft from CX2SC also using the http://www.dxatlas.com/OmniRig/Files/Client.zip to test the connection with my FT747GX I'm able to change frecuency, change mode, switch between RX-TX, etc. I've tested this instructions http://www.dxatlas.com/OmniRig/BetaTest.txt and works.
However all this when I try to configure and use OmniRig on WSJTX and Log40M its not working.
If anyone have any sugestion it will be appreciate.
Regards
