WSJT software won't connect to FLEX 6500.  I don't think the COM port is the Same.  The Hamlib error is given.  It was working on my older (now crashed) computer.

    If you are getting a Rig Control error, it may be because you are trying to use the same port number for other things in WSJT-X, like communicating with your logger, reporting to PSKReporter, etc.  Or perhaps because you have connected your rig and computer to each other incorrectly and they aren't talking to each other correctly.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
