John,

it is using a Hamlib test program to open a connection to your rig and to send a fundamental query command to get the current VFO frequency. It will do the same steps that a an initial connection from WSJT-X will do but it will print copious trace information that will help determine what is not working for you.

Hi Bill, 

Ok, what is that supposed to do?
What response am I looking for?

John,

please do the following and report back what is printed:

open a CMD prompt window. Make a note of your COM port number that is your CAT serial interface and type these commands (I have used COM, substitute your COM port):

cd \WSJT\wsjtx\bin
rigctl-wsjtx -m 2002 -r COM3 -s 4800 -Cserial_handshake=Hardware -vvvvv -Z f

Well Bill, 

I sent you the Kenwood IC-10 manual that contains the Kenwood TS-440S codes. 

If they can make a TS-440S driver for wsjt-x, that would be great!  Because the regular 440 selection as it is now does not work at all with the 440S.

Here, I'll send it again...

John,

you are very wrong about the activity on the Hamlib project, it is under active development and support is extremely responsive. We are happy to pass on Hamlib issues reported to the WSJT-X team or better still contribute in the form of patches. If you can replicate an issue using the Hamlib test utility rigctl or even the rigctld utility using the "Hamlib NET rigctl" driver included with WSJT-X, that would be an excellent starting point for tracking down rig model specific rig control issues.

Dave, I disagree as the Hamlib is used & distributed by the wsjt-x folks as part of the package.  

As for support on hamlib, nobody's home and 'they' haven't made an upgrade in years according to; well, just about everyone. It is semi-orphaned.

No, the problem is that in wsjt-x, there is NO selection at all for the TS-440S. Odd, since that radio is still widely used.

Hi.

For the TS440s issue, you need to talk to the Hamlib people over on:-

    hamlib-developer@...

You'll need to subscribe to the mailing list at:- 
https://sourceforge.net/p/hamlib/mailman/ 

To get that sorted out, it's not a WSJTx problem as such.
