Has anyone managed to get the LD-5 QRP rig from LNR Precision working with CQRLog TRX control? I am at wit's end. I am using the Kenwood TS-2000 profile, as advised by LNR, and the recommended settings (as well as trying with speed set at 9600 and all else as default). The console output says rigctld failed to start, and rig_open: IO error.
Thanks,
Scott
Hi Scott,
it seems you don't have rights to open the port. What distribution are you using? If Ubuntu, you have to be in dialout group.

Thanks, Petr. I am using Xubuntu. I've added myself to the dialout group, but I still get rigctld failed to start. If I set the parity to default, the radio goes immediately to transmit. No matter how I set the other parameters, I get "option not available", or something like that, in the console output, followed by rigctrld failed to start.
I haven't had problems connecting my Yaesu FT450D. I wonder if there's something about the Prolific chipset that is in the LD-5 that's causing problems? I have flrig and fldigi working, with both CAT and audio communication.

You are welcome, Scott!
Run cqrlog from a console with --debug=1 parameter and paste here all related to rigctld, please.

Here's the console output on Xubuntu, running CQRLog 2.0.4, same settings (speed 9600, parity none, all else default; using the Kenwood TS-2000 profile as recommended by LNR).

Petr,
Here's what I get on the Raspberry Pi3 running CQRLog v 1.9.0.
Settings: serial speed set to 9600 and parity set to none, and all other settings set to default. (I get the same result with settings set as recommended by LNR Precision).
Settings:
-----------------------------------------------------
RigCtldPath:/usr/bin/rigctld
RigCtldArgs:-m 214 -r /dev/ttyUSB1 -t 4532 -s 9600 --set-conf=parity=None

I'll enter another post with the output on the Xubuntu laptop
