Help with a G90


 

I recently reinstalled Xubuntu onto a laptop of mine as the previous Ubuntu installation was getting clunky and bloated. I just tried to hook up my G90 to flrig to do remote control and in prep for digital modes. Before this I updated the head unit to firmware version 1.80 (previously head and body were both at 1.79b3). I'm using the DE-19 card as the interface. Now when trying to connect to it flrig never initializes the radio, it just never sees it. Here's a list of things I've tried:
*Changed settings, including stop bit settings, echo, RTS/DTS voltage. Baud has always been set to 19200.
*Added dialout group to my user as the tty device is assigned to that group. And yes, rebooted after to ensure it was in my profile.
*Removed brltty to avoid it subsuming the UART device when plugged in.
*Tried the old Icom 7000/7100 setting, no joy.

All the software I'm running is from PPA, no hand compiling.

I'm fearing that I may have to roll the firmware back on the head to 1.79b3 but this seems like a drastic step. Anyone have any thoughts?


 

David,
? ? I rolled my G90 back from 1.8 to 1.79b3 out of sheer frustration.? 1.79b3 does a mediocre job communicating the amount of SWR to display on FLRIG, but did work.? V1.8 pegged SWR at my Xubuntu install regardless of the actual SWR. Xiegu may say they emulate the Icom CI-V, but the IC-7100's I used to have worked perfectly with FLRIG.?
? ?Between lack of firmware support and little or no factory service I have replaced my G90 with a Yaesu FT-450D and relegated the G90 to POTA service.?


 

Don't think the DE-19 works with Linux! Never got it going with my Raspberry Pi. ?Bo W4GHV since '54
