I suspect this may be similar to what others have been experiencing. I also suspect it's a problem between Windows 10 and HamLib.

If you can do a "Save As" you can save it directly in \WSJT\WSJTX\bin and replace the libhamlib-4.dll that is there.

Mike,

  I agree.  I’ve tried splitting a COM port and what happens is that WSJT-X is sending commands and the “other” application also sends commands.  Sometimes at the same time, corrupting the data.  To be honest, I don’t even know why the virtual serial port vendors even offer this solution to its customers.

  For me the solution was to have a dedicated port to the radio from my application and have a dedicated port to WSJT-X (or SDR radio) using a virtual cable to connect.  The application then sends one message at a time to the rig thus preventing contention/corruption in the serial messages. 

  Although even with this method, WSJT-X doesn’t like unsolicited message responses.  So you still have to filter responses from the rig only providing WSJT-X “safe” command responses back to the WSJT-X serial interface. 

  “Safe” commands means only send responses to WSJT-X that would be for a CAT command that WSJT-X would send to the radio.

  Flooding WSJT-X with unsolicited or unexpected messages will cause it to fail and stop working.

  Just passing along my experiences from writing my own CAT control program for the FT-891/FT-991a radios.

Best regards,

Using a rig with a split com port is a crap shoot.  Sometimes works...sometimes not.
There are solutions that work 100%.  
#1 You can use rigctld with WSJT-X and then use rigctlcom (a TS-2000 emulator) on a VSPE pair.  ACLog then connect to the TS-2000 emulator.#2 You can use FLRig with WSJT-X and the same rigctlcom program will talk to FLRig and ACLog connects to the TS-2000 emulator.
