All,
As I suspected, a reboot of the PC resulted in the same problem I had
with flrig initially (very sluggish T/R sequencing and sometimes a
program hang leaving the Omni in transmit). Perhaps if I were
interfacing the Omni with a standard serial port and only had the
Winkeyer FTDI dongle, this would be a non-issue.
However, I am able to use two FTDI adapters, one for the Omni VI Plus
interface and the other for a Winkeyer, with the following applications:
* WSJT-X utilizing hamlib
* Fldigi utilizing hamlib
* DX Commander
* N3JFP Amateur Contact Log
I'll use as is for a week or so before trying anything else.
Again, thank you all for the help.

I had to use a FTDI cable as the PC the Omni VI is connected to has
three serial ports in the expansion slots and doesn't have room for a
fourth.
I played with this radio until 1:20 AM last night and started on it
again this morning.
I now have flrig working properly and have saved the configuration
just as I have for my Pegasus, Argonaut V, and Xiegu G90. From what I
can tell, Windows and Linux sometimes confuse the two FTDI adapters I
have plugged in (the second is for a Winkeyer).
Several reboots were needed to get everything sorted out and working
properly. I suspect that even though the FTDI adapters are identified
correctly, the operating system is sending instructions to the wrong
one. I will probably have the same issue once I shut the PC down and
restart it. I've seen the same problem using a FTDI adapters with the
Xiegu and Winkeyer.
I did download DXLab Suite and it works fine for now. I will change
settings in WSJT-X to allow CAT control via flrig instead of hamlib
and suspect there will not be an issue until a reboot. N3FJP Amateur
Contact Log, using the Winkeyer, will not transmit although it sees
the Omni VI and returns proper data during the polls.
