590SG Drops “offline”

Good day, I have a 590SG running your current version of Log4OM. I can connect with no issues, but as soon as I key the Mic, it shows “offline”. As long as I don’t try to transmit, the transceiver interface is fine. I have the latest version of Kenwood virtual driver from Siliconlabs, and the latest version of Omnirig. Comm port is 4, 115200 baud rate, databit of 1, etc. can’t seem to figure out why the rig goes offline as soon as I transmit. Have tried to run Log4OM and omnirig in administrator mode, but get the same results. Also tried changing the baud rates on both omnirig and the Kenwood with no success.
Any help greatly appreciated

Well there is RF somewhere as the symtom is not emblematic of a Log4OM issue

If it truly is a RF interference issue, wouldn’t it kick me offline whether or not I’m transmitting or not? As I mentioned, the program runs as intended UNTIL I transmit, then seconds later, it drops off line a requires me to pull up the cat interface, and hit ok. It then goes back to operating just fine.

The radio produces no RF until you transmit!

KG5THA wouldnt it be easier for you to try another log book to see if you get the same issue
