Losing CAT FT101MP

[M0TDW]

Hi,

Been running LOG4OM for a number years on various rigs without any issues.

Connected a Yaesu FT101MP and I am experiencing loss of CAT control.
Yaesu drivers installed prior to connecting the radio.
It isn't rf, it happens when I haven't been transmitting.
I have checked the usb ports don't switch off to save power.
I am running LOG4OM and Omnirig as administrator.
In Omnirig I have tried selecting the rug as FT101D and FT991.
I have tried changing the CAT speed from 38400 to 19200.
As a precaution I changed the USB cable reinstalled Omnirig.
USB ports don't switch off to save power.
Omnirig settings as follows:
Rigtype FT101D
Baud Rate 38400
Data Bits 8, Parity None, Stop Bits 2
RTS Handshake DTR Low
Poll int 100 Timeout 4000
Windows 11 Home 64 Bit v24H2 OS Build 26100.3476


Be grateful for any advice,

73,

Loss of cat completely, like it never connects or intermitently if left in RX idle?

Log4OM version number please

Hi Terry,

LOG4OM version 2.35.1.0

It will disconnect at different intervals sometimes 5 mins or 10mins. Just says it is offline. I can Start CAT again and it will connect but not stay connected for long.
I don't have anyother radio related software running at the same time.

Bill

Have you engaged trace mode in the help menu and then read the log file after the next disconnect?

Not sure how much info you need from the file.
I lost at 11.59
