Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a bug or something on my end, but I'm having a hard time getting the rig control working in CQRLOG. I can control the rigs using the cli command (rigctl -m 329 -r /dev/ttyS0 -s 9600), but the TRX window will not update.
If I launch CQRLOG from a terminal, I get the following message on start-up and when I refresh TRX:
An error has occured setting the rig pathname
I think I have all the configuration settings OK (ID: 329 for IC-765, 9600 N81).
Running Ubuntu 9.04, CQRLOG 0.8.2, and Hamlib V1.2.8.
Thanks for your help and please let me know if I can provide any additional info that might help resolve my problem.
Thanks and 73!

Hi Steve,
please enable Debug level, run cqrlog from console and paste here what it writes down.
You can enable Debug level by editing cqrlog.cfg file which is located in log_data directory. Open it with text editor, find [Program section], change Degug=0 to Debug=1, save the file and run cqrlog.
Thank you.

I'll do that when I get home tonight. Thanks Petr!

Hi Steve,
I'm sorry, my mistake.
I have a script which creates files for release. I've replace default cqrlog.cfg and I've forgetten to remove path to my radio port. So if you don't have /dev/ttyUSB0, cqrlog won't start.
Solution is easy.
Open cqrlog.cfg file, find [trx] section and delete this line:
port1=/dev/ttyUSB0
save the cfg file and run cqrlog again. It should work.
I'm sorry for this.

Ah ha!
I'll check it out tonight, I'll bet that fixes it!
No need to apologize; I'm having fun!

That took care of that, and I can now read the rig, but the TRX crashes if I try to write to it.
Here's the output of debug when opening the program:
steve@AMD:~/cqrlog$ ./cqrlog
[WARNING] Out of OEM specific VK codes, changing to unassigned

At this point, it has read the radio, and everything looks happy. Now, if I change frequency or mode, either using the TRX window or by selecting a "spot", I get the following message:
This is an invalid mode:RTTY
Removing Rig control thread from memory
The mode will be whatever is selected, in this case it is RTTY, but it could as well be CW, USB, LSB, etc.
The PC is an AMD 64, running the 32 bit installation of Ubuntu (9.04), could that be the problem? I'll post a copy of my .cfg file in another message.

There are some left-over lines in my TRX from a second IC-765 that I've disabled in "Preferences". I get the same results using either rig/port, so I just disabled the 2nd rig for the sake of simplicity.
Thanks for the help!

Hi again, Petr!
I just went through and deleted everything, and started from scratch with V0.6.0, and rig control works. So, I removed that and did a fresh V0.7.0 install, and the rig control is not working (same message about invalid mode). So, I removed V07.0 and went back to V0.6.0, and rig control now works again.
Hope this helps!

Hi Steve, I am pretty sure that this is a hamlib issue. I recommend a CVS version installed from the sources which can be found here:
http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net/
You can also see my comments on hamlib and Ubuntu here.
Hi,
I removed my "old" hamlib and installed the latest version from CVS, and verified the installed version (rigctl -V), but the results are still the same with CQRlog versions .7 and higher (message about invalid mode and rig control thread stops when writing to rig).
Version .6 and FLDigi run OK as do rigctl cli functions.
Your comments about Ubuntu and Debian are spot-on and well taken. If I have the time, I may install another distro on the same machine and see what happens. More than likely it would be Mandriva, since I'm already familiar with it. I'll keep you posted!

I did some more poking around with the hamlib CLI and found the problem: I had never changed the filter settings in CQRlog (Preferences) from their defaults, which are incompatible with my old radios. So, when CQRlog told hamlib to set these filters, hamlib said "I can't do that" and the thread crashed. Setting all the filters in CQRlog to 0, or 2200 for CW, RTTY, USB and LSB and 6000 for AM and 15000 for FM fixed the problem.
Supposedly, hamlib can set the narrow filter on CW and RTTY, but it doesn't seem to work from the CLI.
So, if anyone is having trouble with TRX control crashing on older Icoms, try setting all of the filters in CQRlog to zero and see what happens.

I am running centos 5.3, cqrlog 0.83, hamlib 1.2.10svn
I upgraded from 1.2.9 (I would get a "rig 250 error")
after upgrade I started getting rig path issues.
Shame is that I had it working and can't figure out what went wrong.
