Hi Tom,
that's not how Omni-Rig behaves for me, if I start it manually the setup
dialog stays open until it is cancelled or closed with the OK button.
Starting WSJT-X to communicate with it doesn't change that. What version
of Omni-Rig are you using?

Hi
Omni-rig connects just fine to the radio. When you open it there is
some initial comport activity then it closes. All this is normal.
It is completely reproducible on my system. There is no issue with
any other application that uses Omni-rig.
On the groups.io list, there are people that have reported this in the
past.

Hi Tom,
OK, I've not see that behaviour. Are you able to reproduce it? If yes,
then does starting Omni-Rig manually before starting WSJT-X work
correctly?

Actually no. When you start wsjt it immediately gives an error
saying failed to start omnirig com server. If you monitor the
serial port traffic, nothing happens at all. No serial
communications at all.
If you start wsjt as administrator it works without an issue. This
doesn't happen with any other software that uses omnirig. It's
strange because this always worked in the past.

Tom,
I am looking into this issue, you don't need to keep repeating
your query.
So far I see one problem with startup when there is a fault condition
like the rig not being accessible, or if WSJT-X is closed down
before it
has completed all the retries it attempts before reporting an error
(that takes up to 10 seconds). Is that consistent with what you are
reporting? If so, then if WSJT-X is left for 20 seconds or so to
do its
own thing does an error get reported?
