Works fine with my FT-847 but not with the Orion 2.
When starting grig instead (grig -m 1608 -s 57600 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -p -P) I get a segmentation fault:

A similar command for the FT-847 works UFB
All worked fine with Ubuntu 8.10 and CQRlog 0.7.0
I'm stumped, who can cast some light on this?

Peter,
I am using my Orion without any problem since the early bein of this project. It seems most likely as a handshake issue, Orion requires HARDWARE hanshake, FT-847 NONE. For the comm parameters, see the Radio Control menu item (left).

Hi Martin
I know, I had it working just fine before the upgrades (Ubuntu and CQRlog), I do not suspect CQRlib per se, but rather hamlib since grig and fldigi has problems too...
Probably it's a conflict of some kind between hamlib and Ubuntu 9.04...

So, install hamlib from sources. Unfortunately I can't help you because I'm using Slackware. Heard of some Ubuntu related issues (non ham radio) caused by old packages. Don't hesitate to use CVS snapshots, they are pretty good.
Orion has a known issue, there is an initial "retry" error which is normal. The Orion does not respond correctly until after the first command, and Hamlib retries until it succeeds. I don't believe that it will affect CQRLOG,never had any problem.
With a lot of help from the guys in the Linuxham" group, I finally succeeded in getting Hamlib 1.2.10 installed and configured, and now everything works. The TenTec lib maintainer confirmed that there was an error in the back-end, which has now been corrected.
