Startup Error: this action cannot be completed because the other program is busy

#1

Unread post by N5ANY »

When I start the program (v 3.1) I get a message:

this action cannot be completed because the other program is busy
I am using a Yaesu FTDX5000 , omni rig, the Yaesu SCU-17 and an SDR Play. Sometimes after hitting the switch to button several times the box goes away and I can start the program. Any suggestions on how to make this switch to box go away?

Same problem.
Everything works as long as Only sdr console talks with omni-rig server.
An attempt to run, for example, wsjt-x or log, which also want to communicate with omni, does not work. Programs do not see omni-rig.
Even more interesting, when running wsjt + log, which by themselves normally see the omni-rig server, I try to enable external radio in the console.
Now sdr-console doesn't see omni-rig , it prompts to repeat, and then through the loop, from which you can only exit by killing the process through the program manager.

Unfortunately, everything worked only until the reboot. After a reboot, it is again impossible to run 3 programs at the same time, using omni-rig.
I can run wsjt-x + sdr-console, but only if wsjt is started first. If i close both programs then restart external radio (omni) in sdr-console i can only, if I reboot my computer
Maybe a flag is set somewhere and not cleared on exit?
