TRX Icom 756 control
CQRLOG
The world's best linux logging program!
since 2012-05-10
Hi,
please enable debug mode. Go to cqrlog/log_data directory. There is configuration file cqrlog.cfg. Open it for editting, find [Program] section and change Debug=0 to Debug=1. Save config file.
If you run cqrlog from console, you should see what is happening and what is wrong with trx control. Please post it here. Thank you.

Hello Petr,
In the documentation ,chapter Radio Control,I found invalid parameter for IC756.There is baudrate 19200,but must be 9600.Probabile the same you set in the TRX control rewritten (libmy_hamlib.so ) .Maybe this is OK for another Icom's 756 (any PRO versions),but 100% not for Ic756 without PRO.I think,this is my problem.
As you said,I have check TRX control in the debug mode.
There is nothing wrong.Please,check again baudrate for my Icom.Thank you in advance.

Hi Jurek,
you can set the baudrate in Preferences. Could you post here what cqrlog writes in debug mode? Thank you.

Hi Petr,
This is the print out with 19200 in Preferences:
Config: /home/jurek/cqrlog/log_data/cqrlog.cfg
In inicializerig
Model:326
Port:/dev/ttyS0
Baudrate:19200
Databits:8
StopBits:1
Handshake:
Parity:None
DTR:OFF
RTS:OFF
Poll:50
A
And this with 9600 (right for rig 326 model):
Config: /home/jurek/cqrlog/log_data/cqrlog.cfg
In inicializerig
Model:326
Port:/dev/ttyS0
Baudrate:9600
Databits:8
StopBits:1
Handshake:
Parity:None
DTR:OFF
RTS:OFF
Poll:50
Rig is not OK
Error open rig!
Removing Rig control thread from memory
In both events rig control does not work.
Others programs who using hamlib ,also older versions
Cqrlog,with 9600bps in setup,co-operate with Ic756 without problems.
As well changing setup in the radio from Auto for 19200
does not help.
Thank you

Hi Jurek,
I don't know what can be wrong.
you can try rpc.rigd. It's part of hamlib and offer RPC services to remotely control a radio.
Try:
rpc.rigd --model=326 -r /dev/ttyS0 &
and in CQRLOG's Preferences set model number as 1901 and device as localhost. Now it should works.

Hi Petr,
Unfortunately,situation is still the same........
I guess,there must be something wrong in the rewritten (libmy_hamlib.so )But never mind,maybe in the next edition
of Cqrlog you will check this part of software.
At the moment I will use older version of log.
It seems to me,I am a single user with this type of radio.
Nobody else begin to speak about such problem.
Thank you very much,Petr

Hi Jurek,
old version of CQRLOg with libmy_hamlib.so was not good. A lot of radios didn't work. Please try to change DTR, RTS and other parameters.

Hi Petr,
Before I wrote my first post about problem with version 7 of CQRLOG,I have check various settings of CIV-adress.Now is default value.As well various pool rate.Also different settings of computer port,different setup of radio......
I believe,no more possibilitis of hardware setup.Strange,because other programs who using hamlib,are co-operate with my rig properly (before version of CQRLOG too).
Thank you,Petr

Jurek, the poll rate of 50 is very low. Even the fastest rigs must be run at 200 but not less. I tried my Orion to poll at rates down 100, it works but the CPU load is quite high, so not recommended. IC756 is rather slow so I would prefer a poll rate of 300.
Also check your CI-V address. I am not keen of HF Icoms (never owned one) but others mentioned some problems if the address been set to other than default value. The IC756 backend says:
static const struct icom_priv_caps ic756_priv_caps = { 0x50, /* default address */Anyway, google the hamlib forums.
