Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Fair enough.

I could not get the repo download (of flrig) working.? But to test connectivity, I tried JTDX with my FTdx10 (not Flrig/Flrig - worked just fine, even though flrig did not (as a standalone).? My next step was to compile and install flrig (from source - also fldigi), rebooted, and this seemed to be my solution on the Pi.

JTDX actually confirmed connectivity / CAT operations.? Using the GUI and command line audio mixers, I was able to access and test each audio subsystem (I have three ham rigs, and a commercial mixer .. on USB ports).? Ringing out new installations.

These things can be frustrating - you will get it.

Riley, I may have missed it.. but - did you add your login alias to the dialout group?

sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER = *sudo usermod -a -G dialout gjensen* (my alias being gjensen)

and sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB1 - must do on all ports that touch ham software (i.e. /dev/ttyUSB5 (CI-V)

?

Went through this just last night - on a Raspberry Pi 5 - accessing the system from a VNC server.

Getting flrig to work is what I'm trying to do. I cannot get it to communicate with my radio.
Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

Thank you for taking the time to help me troubleshoot this. I see other people seem to have had luck with the digirig and flrig, so I am going to continue trying to figure it out.
Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

Is it possible that this cable works fine with software using hamlib but not flrig? I would have thought if it worked for one it would work for the other.
?
I have not had the change to try another computer.
Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

whether I use /dev/ttyUSB0 for /dev/serial/by-id/... I get the same results. One thing I meant to mention is that when I click init the audio on my radio stops for a split second and I see the "CAT" symbol on the radio come on for about a second then turn back off.
Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

I would like to note that selecting /dev/ttyUSB0 results in the same issue.

Yup I can manage that. I will give it a shot tonight and report back.
?
Do I need to remove the current version or will this overwrite what is currently installed? If I need to remove the current version, can you tell me how to do that? I always get confused as to how to uninstall software on Linux.
Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

I'll have to double check what version I have, I thought 2.0.04 was the most recent on the website.

Thank you, I'll reply back.

Could you list *All* the software you wish to use together, and

of the OS running it all.
macos 15.1
macloggerdx 6.53
flrig 2.0.05
fldigi - built from git today, also 4.2.06.05

Especially version numbers, for all software items you wish to run together.
That will help a lot.
I know nothing to little about Apple Mac's and their software, but I do know others on this list do know that stuff.
I think what happens is, macloggerdx reports over UDP:

[Radio Report:RxMHz:7.07968, TxMHz:7.07968, Band:40M, Mode:LSB,

fldigi reads that and parses it in parse_maclog() using parse_report() function. That function reads frequency

if ((p = str.find("RxMHz:")) != std::string::npos)
mclg_rxhz = get_freq(str.substr(p));

and then at the end of parse_report() show_mac_strings() is called which requests frequency change to flrig:

void show_mac_strings()
{
SET_THREAD_ID(MACLOGGER_TID);

if (mclg_txhz > 0) REQ(maclogger_set_qsy);

That calls maclogger_set_qsy() which requests outdated frequency (sendFreq(hz);) to be applied to the radio.

Outdated because macloggerdx sends reports not too often and fldigi assumes them to be "current" (which is wrong; the frequency is already different due to changes on radio knob or via flrigi freq display).

Why fldigi requests frequency changes based on maclogger radio report - no idea.

For spots, with "Tune to Rx Spot" being on that makes sense, for regular radio report - it doesn't IMO.


All the best.

Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

I don't think my first reply worked, sorry if this is a duplicate.
?
Originally I was using whatever version came pre installed on DragonOS, 1.4.something. last night I installed 2.0.04 and I had the same issue on both versions.
Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

That's what I'm trying to get to. I want to get the radio communicating with flrig, and then I will communicate through flrig to each other program.
?
To my knowledge the radio will not power on over CAT, there is a latching button on the radio that is pressed to turn it on and off.
Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

WSJT-X uses hamlib and one of the "radios" is flrig. I use flrig as a concentrator. WSJT-X, FLdigi and my logger all connect to my rigs through flrig. Phil

Does the Yaesu have the capability of being powered on using the CAT interface?

Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

Riley

I use flrig with an FT857. and I find connecting a tad finicky.?

Have you tried to start flrig, then the FT747?

FT747 on and then?flrig?started? then ft747 off/on?

For me it seems like different?methods work at different?times.?

I keep?my Ubuntu PC up 24/7 for months, once I do connect I keep the rig on for a long time and it stays connected.

Have you tried FLrig with WSJTX? That is start FLrig, start wsjtx and set rig as flrig.?

It's worked for me , I dont recall if connection?is finicky.?

Thanks Dan KC2STA
