[TVARC] FT 8 Lost Control of my Rig

[Steven Buhrow]

FT 8 was working just perfectly until I updated my Mac OS today.  After that, I lost CAT control of my rig.  

I’m running WSJT-X version 2.1.2 Build 0068f9.

My rig is an ICOM 7300 with firmware 1.3

My MAC is now on 10.15.2 (latest Catalina)

I’m using a USB connection between my MAC and the rig.

FT 8 was working great until I updated my MAC to 10.15.2.  Unfortunately, I updated both of my computers at the same time and have the same problem on both.

Receive works fine.  However, I do not have any CAT control over the transmitter.  When I hit the Test CAT nothing happens or it turns red.  The Test PTT is greyed out.

When I get an error, I get a Rig Failure. Hamlib error: IO error while operating connection to rig.

The MIDI settings are good.  I didn’t change any radio settings.  Sound input and output are both set to USB CODEC.  I’m receiving messages just fine.  The configuration settings pops up in audio knowing something is wrong, but I’ve tried everything I can think of.

Any help would be very much appreciated,
