I just upgraded from v2.5 (which worked well) to v2.7.2. I also upgraded Vara HF to v4.5.0. Now when I try to select a frequency, it immediately goes back to zero. Each time I try, the VarAc Log shows "OmniRig: Change Frequency" for each attempt, but nothing changes. The sound card is set properly (Signalink) and when I send a beacon, the rig transmits. Not sure if this is a bug, something with my computer, or something I did wrong. Please help.
Which version of OmniRig?
OmniRig v 1.2
Rig?
Yaesu FT-450D
Have you confirmed that you have good connectivity between the 450 and OmniRig?
Everything worked well with the earlier version of VarAc. Made many contacts. Things just changed when I upgraded to the new version.
What have you done to confirm if OmniRig is working with your rig??
E.g. have you tried testing against Omni-Rig Client, or maybe WSJT-X with OmniRig selected as the radio????
I've not yet used these programs. I'll install and test them and let you know the results.
It will be the best way to see which direction it is broken.
I had the same problem with my KW TS-2000 then I realized I had HRD running in the back ground and OmniRig could not connect to radio as soon I closed HRD it freed the comm port and everything worked great.
Hi @johnebork2
In 2.7.2 there is a new way in which VarAC and OmniRig works.
it is not showing on the dashboard the freq you selected... it shows the actual frequency omnirig report you are now on. so if you move the dial manually to another frequency - it will show you the freq you tuned to.
Apparently, Your omnirig is failing in reading the frequency from your transceiver.
1. First - when you change the drop down - does it succefully change the frequency on your transceiver ?
2. Do you use omnirig with other software (WSJTX / LOG4OM) so you can validate if you get a good frequency read ?
3. Can you post a screenshot of your OmniRig setting ?
Thanks
