WSJT-X 2.1.2, SWisslog, OmniRig and FT-1000MP

[JW6VDA]

Hello. I get some strange error messages when trying to use Omnirig for CAT control with Swisslog and WSJT-X at our clubstation, OH2K. The radio is Yaesu FT-1000MP. 

Sometimes, but not every time, WSJT-X says there is a problem with the radio inteface and prompts me to reconfigure it. Today, when operating on 80 meters FT8, (TX between 100 and 1500 HZ) I realised that even if WSJT-X changed between 3573 and 3572.5, the rig did not revert back to 3573 on receive, but stayed on 3572.5 after the tx period had finished. Changing my tx freqyency above 1500Hz fixed that. 

 Is it necessary to run all the three programmes with administrator rights to make this function properly? Also, I wonder about the settings for OmniRig. I use COM1, 8, N, 2, but what about the other settings? Any hints?
