Hi Bill,
Hi Steve,
...
I applied the patch and re-built but the problem persists. I’ve put a trace file here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33211132/WSJT-X_trace_2.log

There are two events that happened after I applied the patch: 23:35:53 and 23:43:53.

The first one did not throw up a window asking me if I wanted to reconfigure the radio, but the second one did. When I pressed “Cancel” in that window, the program segfaulted.
Thanks for running that, I need more information. The verbose Hamlib trace is not enabled for that run so I can't see what is really happening at the CAT command level. I also note that the extended delay for the TS-480 Hamlib driver still seems to be in place as I see 1s intervals between retries.


I would also be interested in the last test that Mike suggested to add delay after the "IF;" command is sent and the reply read, you would need to test that before trying the attached patch.

The delay after the “IF;”  did not help (with delays of 100ms and 400ms).
OK, I should point out that adding delays may well be counter-productive since it is likely that slowing down polling sequences will make it more likely that a frequency change or similar is queued up and will be processed immediately after a poll sequence. There should be no need for extra delays since we wait to receive after every CAT command, apart from the "ID;" command we inject after commands that do not have a reply to check if they worked, so the rig is determining the pace of communications. No doubt there is something broken in the Kenwood CAT protocol for the TS-480 and we may need to add a targeted delay to influence the issue. I suspect it may be due to some premature optimization in the Kenwood firmware where it caches "IF;" command results rather than simply recalculating the reply every time, but there is nothing direct we can do about that.

Can you confirm which bands you have "Tune" selected for in the band hopping scheduling dialog please.

I don't currently understand why the frequency change due to band hopping is happening after the start of a PTT on period (which I think is a tune up) but if this is happening it is likely to be causing issues.

I am very short of time to look at this Today and Tomorrow but I will return to it again this Evening UK time if I can find some time.
