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

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.

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

 

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

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

so it does sendFreq(hz) every short time. Just hz it has is sometimes old value (radio already has been set to new freq) which makes it tell flrig to go back to old freq.

Shouldn't it just do

maclogger_set_qsy() {
...
if (!progdefaults.maclogger_spot_rx)
return;

When changing frequency on flrig then fldigi tries to follow but with the same "revert" problem, sometimes, as when changing frequency on radio.
Tracked it down.

Frequency was being changed in maclogger_set_qsy().

I had "Tune to Rx Spot" turned on and fldigi reacted on:

[Radio Report:RxMHz:7.07968, TxMHz:7.07968, Band:40M, Mode:LSB, Power:100]

These look like a kind of "current status report" and not "spot" for me.
