WSJT-X and WSPR mode error message

[John Chin]

Hi All,

Today, I thought I give WSPR mode on WSJT-X 2.2.2 a try.  This is my first time using WSPR.

I watched some videos on how to run WSPR mode on WSJT-X.  None of then mention user_hardware file.   I see in the manual that it runs it when changing bands  I tried to set up a schedule.

When it tried to switch bands I get the message:

When I select OK, WSJT-X fails.

In my research on google, I found a posting that there is a bug in WSJT-X 2.2.2.  Their solution is to go back to 2.2.1.  WSJT-X 2.2.2 is my first installed version.

My questions is what are my options?

• create a blank user_hardware file?  If so where should it go?
  
• Install WSJT-X 2.2.1
• Install WSPR 2.12
• Install WSJT-Z
• Install JTDX

What are your recommendations?  I think creating a blank bat file will work.  I do not know enough what is in the actual user_hardware file.
