Hello and welcome to my Blog, my name is Chris, a bus driver for First Mendip based in Wells, Somerset. I am Chair and H&S rep for the depot branch of Unite the Union. Married to Fiona, we live in Midsomer Norton near Bath, with Boots the cat. My main hobby is Amateur Radio and I hold the call sign G4KVI. I am the repeater keeper for GB3UB and MB7UB. I have a fascination for the weather and all things to do with nature and science. As a Christian I worship, when shifts allow at St. Nicholas Church in Radstock.

Ft991 Hamlib error with WSJT

 As you know, I love FT8 and enjoy working this mode. However, yesterday WSJT suddenly threw a Hamlib error at me and wouldn't communicate with the rig. I spent a lot of frustrating time rolling back drivers etc, which didn't work. Finally after a careful look at the port setting I unchecked the 'Use FIFO buffer' This cured the problem and everything is now working.
