no cat control

[G4POP]

Check yaesu menu 034 and see what bad rate is set then make sure its same in Omnirig

We could message each other till the cows come home without success whereas a few minutes on Skype could fix it

hi terry I get your point but i won't risk it again . I've checked the rate and its the same. as i previously stated nothing in omni rig changed it just stopped working I've done installs of omni rig again and now 3 versions of lo4om 2 normal and 1 beta ..the cat works perfect on my old hrd so that discounts a lead or radio problem .
thanks for the advice but i dont have the time to continue today I have other stuff to be getting on with .must say after years of use this is the first issue I've ever had
kind regards
George

Are any other programs running at the same time?

[G7NOT]

no i had also logged out of qrz which was running but other than that nothing else is running .the pc is purely for the radio

Please check the com port the Yaesu is connected to by watching the device manager/Ports (COM & LPT) folder while you unplug the CAT cable and re-connect - The port will vanish as you unplug and re-apear when re-connected - Note the com port number

Then ensure that port number is the one selected in Omnirig

Please dont say its OK in HRD I already commented about that being automatic com port search if set.

hi terry as ive also stated about hrd is to tell you that the radio or the lead is not the issue . and as also said nothing has changed all ports are as they have been for a long time . i have connected and reconnected I've done everything i can think of and the result is the same .its shows offline . i have done everything you suggested and again it remains offline . this morning i reinstalled the 2.32.1 and checked I've now reinstalled the beta and checked and in every case i checked the port and baud rate and nothing has changed its as it was for long time . i don't see what else we can do so thanks for your time .my next step will be disconnection of the ftdx9000 and connecting my ft2000 i have all the com and baud rate written for that to see what happens . might take me a day or 2 as I've now got work to do
regards

My HRD comment was about automatic selection of the Com port I was not alluding to the radio or cable.

Let us all know how you get on please it may help other users

Hello George,

I had the same experience after i installed wsjtx v 2.7.0 RC5, while older versions worked just fine.
Did you installed wsjtx mentioned program?
