Hi Unni,
if the COM port number is correct then there may be an issue with the
remaining settings like baud rate or handshaking.
Also check that your FT-857 had it's port set to CAT mode and not ATU
mode. Check your physical cable connections.
To use Omni-Rig select "Settings->Radio->Rig" as "OmniRig RIg 1" (or 2
if your Omni-Rug server is set up for port two to connect to your FT-857).

Dear Bill
Thanks for the suggestions. The com connections are perfect and use
to check frequently for its numbers. I feel the problem is something
with Hamlib.
Is there any way to connect through Omnirig to FT857 to try whether
the problem is with Hamlib or not?
With regards and 73s

Hi Unni,
those errors imply that the COM port number has changed, perhaps
due to a Windows update causing hardware devices to be re-scanned.
Check that the COM port number for your CAT interface is correct
by locating it in the Windows Device Manager application.
Prolific USB to serial adapters do not store their COM port number
and can potentially change just by re-scanning the hardware
devices or by plugging into a different USB hub or hub port.
