I'm running WSJT-X on a Raspberry Pi 4, 4Gb, running 32 bit "Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)" that is fully patched and up to date.
Radio is a uBitx v6.1 with a Signalink interface, using the Yaesu FT-817 settings in WSJT-X.

WSJT-X version 2.5.4 works fine, no errors.

Version 2.6.1 (installed with "dpkg -i wsjtx_2.6.1_armhf.deb") gives a hamlib Protocol error.

I've upgraded hamlib to version 4.5.4 as indicated by the WSJT-X release notes.

Downgrading back to 2.5.4 ("dpkg -i wsjtx_2.5.4_armhf.deb") and everything works fine again, even with hamlib 4.5.4 still installed.

Has anyone gotten WSJT-X 2.6.1 to work with the uBitx from a Raspberry Pi?

Thank you,

Hi Dj,

I don’t remember the exact issues I had when trying to upgrade but I ended up doing the same thing: reverted back to 2.5.4. ?

Cheers, Scott

Thank you Ashhar.? If I understand what you are saying, with version 2.5.4 of WSJT-X it did not reset the USB port, but they changed something in the code for WSJT-X 2.6.1 so that it does reset the USB port?

I've been helping to troubleshoot this issue with Mike Black W9MDB who is one of the developers for the Hamlib software.

The issue turned out to be a combination of a timing issue and another minor change to the ft817 routines in the Hamlib software.

The fixes are in the master Github repository for Hamlib ().? In order to use WSJT-X 2.6.1, you need to compile the Hamlib software from the source code by cloning the Github repo, then compile WSJT-X 2.6.1 source code and point it to the Hamlib you just installed instead of the one that is bundled with WSJT-X.

I anticipate the changes will eventually make it into the next official release of Hamlib, and then eventually bundled in a future version of WSJT-X.

I have no idea when that might be, but I wanted to share the good news that there is a fix so the uBitx radio will work with the current WSJT-X software.
