CQRLOG cannot talk to or key the radio

Hi,

I am VERY new to Linux and this logging program as well. What I see using CQRLOG so far, has me blown away with all the functionality, performance and screen layout. It seems to be just what I am looking for, to get away from Windows - once and for all.

For many years, I have used DX4WIN on my windows machine without any problems.

Related to PC to radio communications:
I am able to talk to the radio and keyer without any problems, but here on Linux, not so well. On my setup, I am coming out of a USB port on the PC and going to an external USB to Serial interface cable adapter. The PC sees the new port as, COM3. My radio is an FT1000D and no matter how I try to configure the settings (I even tried the settings Tom, K8WDX had on his YouTube channel) and they didn't solve the problem either. My settings using DX4WIN are the following:
Radio: FT1000
Port: COM3
Address: 26
Baud: 4800
Parity: 8N2
Pollrate: 500ms
RTS High: Yes
DTS High: Yes
Works great with DX4WIN and N1MM - Nothing on CQRLOG.

As for for the CW keyer interface not working:
I come out of the standard motherboard PC parallel port (0x378) which is the default port number. From there, I have a simple transistor switch keyer interface that is taken directly from the N1MM instructions (same instructions as CT logging program) and this keys the radio without any problems. Again, nothing working with CQRLOG.

System:
Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon

Can anyone offer any help? I REALLY want to completely get away from Windows, but my primary contact logging program needs to working properly first.

TNX and 73,

Hi Bob,

Did you make your user in linux member of the dialout group ?

Com3 would normally translate to /dev/ttyS2 , there are exceptions though
tick "run rigctld at start"
And leave all setting to default except for the serial speed.

b.t.w. Switching to linux takes some time to get used to, but when that happens, you dont want to go nack ;)

I am with Alex, I struggled

I am with Alex, I struggled at first, then once I got a hang of it, it is actually very easy, and you will discover how bad Windows really is, that being said, you do need to make yourself part of the dial out group,
Terminal:
gksudo gedit /etc/group

then enter your password in the box, a window will open, you are looking for: dialout:x:20:
enter your user name after the 20:, mine looks like this dialout:x:20:tom this will be the same as other entries that you see, then click save, log out, or simply reboot. try again.
your rig model looks like uses either 103 or 104 or 124 or 125, then check box run rig control when CQRlog starts, and port speed, try 38400, make sure you rig is at the same speed. the rest default, for your device, try /dev/ttyS0 you may need to use different # like ttyS1, ttyS2, etc, if you are using USB adapter /dev/ttyUSB0, continue to change port # until you find it, when I first got started I use to get rig control with Fldigi working first, it seemed it was easier with the drop down menu,
once you get it working change your pole speed to 125 and watch how fast the software responds to the VFO.

None of these things worked.

None of these things worked. I tried /dev/ttyUSB0 through USB10 and nothing worked. Then I tried /dev/ttyS1 through S10. Again nothing worked. I did the dial out group thingie and that didn't solve it either. I'm stumped... for now.

dial out group

I'm also having rig control problems. It doesn't work. when I type in group dialout stuff, I get the password window, but when I type in my password I get the command prompt and nothing happens.

Re: None of these things worked.

Open a terminal window and type this:

cqrlog --debug=1 >> log.txt

hit enter, open the log, close the application and paste the file as attachment here to the forum.

Hi Petr,

I still can't get the PC and the radio to talk to each other. I'm getting frustrated. I've tried every combination I could think of and still nothing. I have attached my log.txt file here. I appreciate your help and congratulate you on an excellent program that you have donated to the amateur community.

Hi Bob,

I see you set up RigDevice: /dev/ttyUSB2
Are you sure that this is the correct port?

in a shell box can you type this command: ls /dev/ttyUSB*
and the post that? It should list all the USB/rs232 ports connected.

I think that Windows uses com 3 because of the 2 onboard rs232 ports (even if they do not exist) but Linux does not make such stupid decisions, and it will list the USB ones seperately , so if you only have 1 usb/rs232 cable, it will be /dev/ttyUSB0.

you will see this when you run the command....

let us know how it goes.

OK guys, I got it working !

OK guys, I got it working ! TNX

I had settings that were both good and bad in my particular instance. First of all... USB0 was the correct setting. You guys were correct. Now my setup device is listed as /dev/ttyUSB0

Next, I set all radio one serial parameters to default... EXCEPT for the Serial Speed. I set that to 4800 and, Voila! Radio now talks to PC.

I'm just starting down the Linux path and so far, I've encountered several hick-up's and several setbacks, but I've also learned a few things. I expected problems getting everything to work as it did in the Windoze world, but I was determined to get it working.

Thanks again, everyone. I REALLY appreciate it.

Hi Bob,

Great that you got your rig working!
I never have seen anyone not get to that stage though....

I am certified by bill in microsoft crap, it makes a great living, but use Linux and Mac for myself.
The biggest thing i see as a problem with changing from Windows to Linux or Mac is that people have the tendency to clap on to how windows works. this is logical as that is the only thing they usually know.
Usually i tell people, when they encounter a problem, to try not to think how they would solve it in windows, but how they think it logically should be solved. Windows is in many points not logical. And wit rs232 usb cables you hit the biggest one. A rs232 port, and a usb cable are not the same....
So why would you call it the same in windows?? i have no clue, but logical it is not.

good luck with CQRLOG. by far the best logging program on Linux, and in my opinion on any platform

Hi Alex,

Indeed it is, no way. I am always saying that only thing I need is to have n1mm native for linux or cqrlog for .... windows. Just to stop switching systems ;)

Looks like rigctld is not initiating. I have it checked to start at launch but when I run debug, there is not indication that it has started or even tried to start. rigctld is in /usr/bin/rigctld. I've also tried to run the command to figure out what the /dev/ttyXXX should be but when I put the command in, I just go back to the prompt. Rig is TS-590S with USB output. PC is Acer Chromebook 11 which has 2 USB ports. The USB cable from rig is plugged into the left port. I'm using latest version of Ubuntu with XFCE desktop. I am a NOVICE Linux user.

Hi Tom, Here's what I know. I'm in the dialout group. My radio is plugged into USB0 and everything is set in the config. I still don't think rigctld is working at all, even though the program is where it should be etc.

Did you check the checkbox to start rigctld when program starts?
take a screenshot from your trx control settings
and start cqrlog from the commandline with --debug=1

This should shed some light on your situation.

Re: Picture of setup screen

Please set Poll rate to 1500. If you set the poll rate to low value, rigctld sometimes has a problem to talk with the radio.

I have TS-590SG and had to set poll rate to 1500. Also had to compile git version of hamlib to get it work but I suppose it's not needed with TS-590.

Hi Stephen,

You set up a TS-590, and you set the speed to 9600bps, i do not think that this setting is correct. This set is fairly recent and my 590SG has a default speed of 115200 on the USB port. 9600 is default ONLY for the rs-232 not the USB port.
Look at what speed is set in menu item 62 on your ts590s.
If my hunch is right, it is set to 115200. If so , set CQRlog to this as well.

All the other stuff you send. om first glance, looks ok.
Let us know how it goes.

Steve,

Just had another look through your log.....
Do you have a config set in radio2 ?
It looks like cqrlog tries to set up 2 different rigs on ttyUSB0
That might not work.. If so clear that..

Also i would advise to set the ts590 usb config back to default, or if u have a slow pc to 56k or so. Also start off with the poll interval at the default of 500. Tweak that when you have it working.

Let us know how it goes...

Config

There is no config in Radio 2. I changed speeds to 57600 on radio and CQRLOG, changed poll to 500...rebooted...still nothing. I can't begin to tell you how frustrating this is for me. I've been at this off and on for 4 weeks now. Seems like there may be a fundamental problem within Ubuntu? I just upgraded and updated to 14.04 thinking I might have to re-set something, but still nothing. BTW...thanks for your help. I know this must be frustrating for you as well. 73, Steve—W1SFR

Hi Steve,

I just installed Ubuntu in a virtualbox, and configured the serial stuff in virtual box which is a pain. I installed cqrlog on it and it works without any problems. It's a default installation , only updated, so no reason it should not work on your system.

What timezone are you in?
If you want, we could do a Skype session with teamviewer if the time difference is not too bad, or we need to find a spot in the weekend.

I am intrigued what your problem is.....
Sometimes it can be a pain up the bumm to get communications working , but never so bad as it is with you.

You can add my Skype, just search for PA1SBM.
Usually when it says i am available, i am indeed available , but please drop me a text msg be for calling. kust in case i am sleeping and forgot to log off Skype on my phone.... :)

CQRLOG can't talk to TS-590SG (CWint connect to hamlib FAILED)

Hi,

I recently bought a TS-590SG transceiver, and trying to connect the radio to CQRLOG with no luck.
The debug output says CWint connect to hamlib FAILED.
How can I fix this problem?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here is some of the set-up info.
Radio:TS-590-SG firmware ver. 1.02
OS: UBUNTU 15.10 (64 bit)
CQRLOG:1.9.1

dmesg output for the usb-serial converter:

[ 18.004151] usb 3-2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

So, I assigned USB-serial converter to /dev/ttyusb0 in the TRX control section of "Preferences".

Re: CQRLOG can't talk to TS-590SG (CWint connect to hamlib FAILE

Hi,

as I wrote many times before :), please set only serial speed and other parameters leave as default.

What version of Hamlib do you have? I had to compile git version to get TS-590SG working.

Re: CQRLOG can't talk to TS-590SG

Hi, Petr and Alex
Thank you for your help. but I still can't make cqrlog talk to my TS-590SG.
First of all, I set serial speed and other parameters leave as default, but things didn't change.
I do not know the version of Hamlib, but I think that is the cause that cqrlog can't talk to the TS-590SG.
I have read that to connect TS-590-SG to cqrlog, Hamlib3.0 was needed. Therefore I have downloaded the Hamlib3.01 and tried to install Hamlib3.01 according to the instruction given in the "Install" document of the Hamlib.
Now, I have 2015/6/14 stamped /user/lib/hamlib, /user/bin/rigctld, etc., and 2016/2/14 stamped /home/kazumasa/lib/libhamlib.a, etc., /home/kazumasa/include/hamlib, /home/kazumasa/bin/rigctrld, and so on. Kazumasa is my user name.
This probably means that I have two(2) versions of Hamlib installed in different directories.
I tried to edit /etc/ld.so.conf to add /usr/local/lib, then ran ldconfig. But it did't work.
Now, I'm completely confused, and can't fix the trouble.

Kazumasa,

hamlib 3.0.1

I also have a TS590SG. It works with cqrlog and hamlib 1.2.5 as TS590S. But it didn't work with wsjtx.

I did exactly what you did to get hamlib 3.0.1, ending up with a rigtld binary in my home directory.

You must change the path to rigctld in the cqrlog settings to point to this binary (in your case /home/kazumasa/bin/rigctrld) and restart cqrlog. It will now use this binary. If everything is working, you can now select the TS590SG in crqlog's rig list.

It's not a mess, it's even the best way to do it since you have not changed anything with the original hamlib installation. Everything is located in your home directory.

You don't need the *.a and *.h files for running rigctld, they are only needed if you want to build application software which uses the hamlib.

Re: CQRLOG can't talk to TS-590SG

Hi, Petr, PA1SBM,DK7OB

Thank you for your kind help.
I copied new rigctld and rigctl files from /home/kazumasa/bin to /usr/bin folder, and changed usb-serial converter cable to USB cable.
Also, set the speed 115200.
Then, CQRLOG can talk to TS-590SG!!
Thank you again for your advise.
I hope that my experience would be of other TS-590SG owner's help.

CQRLOG cannot talk to or key the radio
