Fldigi Does Not Switch Back to rx From tx

Flex 6600, Paralles / Windows 11, FLDIGI version 4,1,02, SliceMaster 0.10.6b.

Using macros to control FLDIGI.  After tx, macro does not cause Flex 6600 to return to rx (receive).  Checked curser follows the "tith r" character.  Removed FLDIGI, rebooted windows and same problem.

FLDIGI setup using SliceMaster 6000.  Slicemaster reports no problems.

Problem / need help getting FLDIGI to return FLEX to receive after transmission is complete.

Thanks.

    One more data point.  After more trial and error, in every case when I start flDigi from Slicemaster, everyting appears to work well.  Only when I use a macro to tx, the flDigi programs freezes.  The message continues to be sent and when the macro reaches the end with the command to return to rx, because it is locked up, the Flex 6600 transmitter does not return to rx.

    Following the failure to return to rx, with the program locked up, I must do a forced shutdown and restart to return the program to operating status.

    I do not use SliceMaster for FlDigi, but direct with Mac and Windows I have absolutely no problems with FlDigi macros and Tx/Rx toggle. Have you tried just starting up FlDigi with its standard macros? Have never had an issue with it. Flex6600M in use here, with CAT/DAX on Windows and xCat/xDax on Mac.

    Configured FlDigi manualy using the Rig Cat selection on the configure menu.  All functions appear to work OK with no program freeze ups and it returns to rx after a transmission.

    Flexmaster used the flrig and hamlib selections under rig configuration.   This again cause FlDigi to lockup when the transmission was done.

    Appears to narrow the problem down to the configuration setup from Flexmaster.  Could there be a missing piece of software??

    I’m using Hamlib with xCat and TCP/IPRigCtl on the Mac, and RigCAT with COM4 on Windows, and all of them work just fine with FlDigi.
