Bill: You tell me. All I know is that I was having issues with rig control on two other pieces of software, and when I uninstalled WSJT-X 2.1.x, those problems disappeared. The other two pieces of software worked flawlessly with their hamlib rig control, even surviving reboots, until I re-installed WSJT-X 2.1.x. It got to the point that I refrained from using WSJT-X and, instead, concentrated on CW (keyed by hand, copied by head), RTTY, and PSK-31... The (mis)behavior doesn't seem to exist with 2.2.1 installed, so I'm not sure what the issue was with the older version, or what it is that changed between 2.1.x and 2.2.x w/r/t hamlib. Since it seems you get quite ruffled by the reporting of symptoms that are WSJT-X related, I'll refrain from doing so in the future. You have a great evening, Bill. Enjoy a brandy and relax.
