I really appreciate the hours and effort that have gone into the creation
of WSJT.  The enhancements in 2.6 are all great, except for the one that
seems to have created a problem for me.   I'll describe my setup and then
the problem.

Computer #1- I7 11th gen, 16Gb RAM, Win 11 Pro
Computer #2- I5 4th gen, 8Gb RAM, Win10 Pro- new (to me) computer, very
little on it

WSJT 2.5.4 works flawlessly in my setup.

Setup: WSJT configured to work with N1MM+ Logger thru DX Lab Commander.
Local rigs are K3 radios, connected to Remote Rig (RR) boxes that stream
the audio to a radio site 70 miles away.  The computer and K3s talk at
38400.  My normal operation is So2R, although at times I may operate with
only one For EW.  I use separate sound cards to decode each radio, and a
third soundcard that generates the transmit tones.  All the signal
processing (WSJT, N1MM+, sound cards) is done at the Control site.

Problem: With no warning and no provocation, one of the WSJT-X-FOR EW will
suddenly close and I'll ge this error message: "Something caused WSJT to
close the Radio TCP Port unexpectedly.  Please try starting WSJT again.  If
that doesn't restore operation, restart N1MM+."  Restarting WSJT doesn't
work, and restarting N1MM+ doesn't work.  The only way to restore operation
at this point is to restart the computer.

1. The time between crashes is 15 min to 3 hrs.
2. Either WSJT-X ForEW1 or EW2 can crash.
3. THe problem occurs on both of the above computers.
4. The problem occurs when local communications are at 38400 or 9600.
5. I have not found a way to generate the problem, it just happens.
6. The crash can occur when I'm not touching the keyboard or mouse.
7. The crash occurs when using either the 32  or 64 bit program
8. On Mike W9MDB's suggestion, I reconfigured WSJT and N1MM so that WSJT
controlled the radios directly; the crash still occurs.

Since I haven't heard many complaining about this, I'm thinking there
aren't many ops trying to operate SO2R through a remote station, and the
remote station has something to do with it (something timing out, momentary
interruption of data or audio streams)  I"ve also considered that maybe
that error message is something of a catchall, and the problem doesn't have
a specific error message.  Since this problem didn't occur with 2.5.4, and
does with 2.6.0, something changed between the two to create this problem.

In any case, thanks for anything that can be done to correct this.  If I
can assist with any fixes on this or other items please feel free to call
on me.
