Thank you, Chris and Michael - that worked perfectly!
I'm back in business!

Morning Everybody,
I recently upgraded to 2.6.1 (Built form source on Linux Mint) and am also
seeing this problem.
Is there a fix, or a pull request I can reference? (I'm building from
source, so it's pretty easy to poke something in if the fix is known.)
Thanks!

Subject: [wsjt-devel] FT-736 fails with 2.6.1
Guys,
I tried to use WSJT-X 2.6.1 on Windows this past weekend in the VHF
contest and discovered that there has been a regression in the support
and/or handling of the FT-736R VHF/UHF rig.
WSJT-X now fails with a Rig Control Error, reporting:
Hamlib error: ft736_get_freq: called
rig_get_freq(2103): freqMainA=0, modeMainA=, widthMainA=0

I believe this occurs because the FT-736 has a one-way CAT interface-- you
can only send commands to the radio and it does not send any responses,
ACKs or anything back.
WSJT-X was working with the -736 up to 2.6.0-rc4 at least and after I
did an upgrade to latest, this problem appeared for me. I do not have
experience with other -RC between.
I reverted WSJT-X to 2.6.0 and the problem is still present.
I was unable to revert to the older -RCs because their end-date has been
reached and they will not run.
I then reverted the Hamlib that is bundled with 2.6.1 to version 4.5
(no sub-release),
https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib/releases/tag/4.5
and this has allowed the -736 to work again.
So, it appears to be a problem in HamLib although I am not sure why
WSJT-X is calling a function that we know said radio does not support
(namely, querying the frequency from the radio) and then failing when
it cannot get the response.
Any ideas where things have gone astray?
