Hi, I was testing receiving a file wiht another user. I got the accept file message. I clicked on yes. At that point VARac goes into permanent TX and also locks up. I can still click on various parts of the window for VARA but not VARac. I have to close VARA which then closes the locked up VARac. If I send a file to the other party, it works fine.
Has anybody experienced this? Any ideas on what the problem might be?
Rig, IC7610. PWR set to 10W. PC, Windows 11. Using CAT direct via COM5 to the USB of the radio, no Omnirig. Everything else seems to work fine incuding sending VMAILS. Only when I click on "accept incoming file" with a "yes" does this issue arise. Seems very odd and I have no idea how to track down the issue.
Help/ideas needed please.

Hi Mike.
Donno exactly why but my first question would be - is that persistent or was it a one time experience.
Sometimes (rarely) There is hiccup in the CAT communication with your rig. can be originated from many reasons... Temporary lack of resources on the PC (CPU), Rig not responding temporarily to a cat command etc...
VarAC usually recovers from such hangs in 20-60 seconds depends on the use case.
If it happens again - do not touch anything and wait. It should be resolved by itself.
But going back to my first question - is that experience reproducible on your end ?
