FLRIG WONT CONNECT TO COMPUTER


 

Hi , Dave, N4XYZ here.
I have been using FLRIG and FLDIGI for quit some time. I haven't had any problem with FLRIG up to including 2.0.3.? FLRIG 2.0.5 wont connect to my computer.? I have a Dell desktop with I7 running windows 11. I have a MicroHam Microkeyer II which gives me 2 serial ports connected to a IC-7800.? When I start FLRIG the progress bar moves about half way across the icon then a flag comes up saying FLRIG is shutting down.? FLRIG fails connecting to the com port. The com port particulars are 19,200 8N1. I have tried slowing the baud rate,? deleted the flrig.prefs file plus anything else I can think to try but no go,? If anybody has any ides for me to try please let me know.

I have the same problem with IC7300 and the newer Flrig. The older (1.4.7 etc) works. The Rigcat and Hamlib is what I use now.

Arvind and Dave,

Make sure nothing else is grabbing the serial port.

You can try deleting or renaming the IC-7000.prefs or the IC-7300.prefs file or just rename the flrig.files directory for a completely new install.

I use an IC-7300 and flrig is solid and has been for years with all the versions. I use linux and MacOS mostly, but have a Windows 10 install that also runs fine.

You can try the newest flrig-2.0.05.70 from ??if you wish.

Cliff, something changed after Flrig 2.0.3. All new version since crash. I don't think it would make a difference but the newer versions don't have a selection for stop bits. ?If something else is using the com port 2.0.3 wouldn't work but it does FB.

Cliff?

Nothing is holding up the serial port. Like I said the older version of Flrig works with no problem. So something is different now for the IC7300.? The new Fldigi both Rigcat and Hamlib work just fine.
