THIS IS MY SECOND POST BEGGING FOR HELP ON THE RIG CONTROL FUNCTION OF CQRLOG. DOES THIS WORK ON THE TEN TEC OMNI VII?
I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THIS RIG WITH A XMLOG WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. IT HAS NEVER WORKED WITH CQRLOG AND THE HAMLIB INSTALLED. THE HELP SCREEN I FOUND DOES NOT MATCH THE LAYOUT OF THE RX/TX PREFERENCE SCREEN. WHAT IS THE DEVICE SETTING MEAN? IS THE DEFAULT CORRECT?

HI PETR
I FINALLY GOT CQRLOG TO RUN FROM THE TERMINAL. I HAD RIGCTL RUNNING FROM THE CONSOLE AND COULD TOGGLE "f" AND GET MY 80M FREQ RETURNED.. AFTER STARTING CQRLOG, I AM PASTING IN THE RESULTS BELOW. THE RESULTS ARE UP TO THE TIME I SELECT THE LOG AND PRESS ENTER.

BENNY K5KV
<p>PETR<br /><br />THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSE. <br /><br />WHEN I PRESS CTRL-ALT-F1 I GET A PROMPT <br /><br />k5kv@unbutu:/$<br /><br />WHEN I ENTER CQRLOG<br /><br />k5kv@unbutu:/$ cqrlog<br /><br />I GET THIS RESPONSE<br /><br />(cqrlog:4529) : Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:<br /><br />I HAD TO GOOGLE THE CONSOLE AS I HAD NEVER USED IT BEFORE. MY GUESS IS THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT PATH TO CQRLOG? I TRIED USING CD COMMANDS TO MOVE TO A DIFFERENT DIRECTORY WHERE THE CQRLOG LINK IS LOCATED BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. I AM NOT A UNIX/LINUX USER. SORRY FOR MY IGNORANCE ON THIS SUBJECT. I TRIED TO PASTE THE LINK TO THE K5KV DIRECTORY BUT IT WILL NOT LET ME. THE ANNOYING GREYED OUT "PASTE" DOES NOT WORK.<br /><br />I TRIED TO RUN RIGCTL FROM THE TERMINAL WINDOW AND ALL I CAN GET FROM THAT IS "IO - error"<br /><br />I WAS SETTING THE -m 1611 FOR MY RADIO<br /><br />I TRIED ALL dev/ttyS0 THROUGH dev/ttyS9 SETTINGS. I GET THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE ABOUT I/O. DO THESE SETTINGS MEAN THE SAME AS WINDOWS COM PORTS?<br /><br />WHEN I RUN WINDOWS XP WITH XMLOG, THE RIG CONTROL WORKS WITH COM 10 SELECTED. I HAVE A USB TO SERIAL CONVERTER TO A SERIAL CABLE CONNECTING TO THE TEN TEC OMNI 7. I AM SUSPECTING SOMETHING WITH RIGCTL IS NOT WORKING WITH THE SERIAL CONVERTER. MY DESKTOP DOES NOT HAVE A SERIAL PORT.</p>
<p>THE FORUM IS DELETING MY BLANK LINES MAKING THIS HARD TO READ - SORRY.</p>
<p><br />YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED</p>

Benny,
you must run terminal program when you are in graphical interface - konsole for KDE or gnome-terminal for Gnome. CQRLOG won't run in text mode.

and if you don't have any serial port and use USB to serial converter, the port will be /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 etc.

HI PETR
THANKS FOR THE TIP ON THE USB PORT SETTING. THAT ALLOWED ME TO RUN RIGCTL IN THE CONSOLE AND CONTROL AND READ THE FREQUENCY, MODE, FILTER.
I HAVE SPEND CONSIDERABLE TIME TRYING TO RUN CQRLOG IN THE CONSOLE AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET PAST THE DISPLAY ERROR MESSAGE I MENTIONED EARLIER. I APOLOGIZE I AM UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE REQUESTED INFO. ANY SUGGESTIONS OR ALTERNATE METHODS TO GET THE INFO YOU NEED?
I DID UPDATE FROM VERSION 1.4.2 TO VERSION 1.5.2 AND HAVE ALL THE SETTINGS CORRECT FOR THE OMNI VII. THE TX/RX WINDOW WORKS WITH THE BAND MAP AND LOG SCREENS NOW BUT THE RADIO JUST IGNORES ANYTHING I DO WITH THE LOG, TELNET, BAND MAP OR TX/RX SCREEN. I AM HOPEFUL THAT NOW YOU KNOW RIGCTL WORKS FINE, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SUGGEST A FIX TO MY CQRLOG INSTALLATION.

.
JUST TO BE CLEAR, RIGCTL READS AND CHANGES THE RADIO FREQ, MODE ETC. CQRLOG CHANGES THE TX/RX BOX INFO BUT THE RADIO DOES NOT RESPOND.
