Hi,

for a my error I notice that with a CAT error program go to select
configuration, not to the radio CAT of current configuration.

Is it wanted ?

It is simple to simulate turning off radio.

Tested only with 1.8.0 and 1.7.1 > r7920

Hi Sandro,

I do not follow you with what the issue is, can you try and explain a
different way please?

Sandro, Bill,

the WSJT-X program, when the dialog box Sandro referenced is displayed,
can not communicate with the radio, but has no means of knowing *why*
communication is not possible. There are various possibilities, and the
dialog box accounts for pretty much all of them:

* correct radio, but switched off
* no connection to the radio (no cable, misconfiguration, equipment fault)
* the connection to the radio has changed
* correct radio, but the configuration has been changed on the radio
* a different radio is now in use
* the configuration file has been corrupted or mis-selected
* several of the issues above
* something we haven't thought of!

If the current configuration requires adjustment, that option is
selected by clicking *OK*, which brings up the Settings→General tab. The
*Settings→Radio* tab would be a more obvious/sensible selection, which I
think is the point that Sandro was making. Selecting *Configurations**
*
offers the ability to select a specific configuration if necessary.
Selecting *Cancel* exits WSJT-X, which seems sensible.

In passing one notes that this dialog box is not noted in the user
manual (v1.7.0).

HTH, 73,

Hi Robin & Sandro,

ok, got it now. Yes that makes sense, I will sort it out.
