I have a Kenwood TS-50 that I have recently configured rig control to work with CQRLog (as Radio Two) by slowing down its rate of asking for information from the radio using a poll rate of 2500 and using
--set-conf=poll_interval=1000
in the Extra Command Lines Arguments and it works fine, but sometimes the TRX Control window will lose the frequency that the radio is at and show a frequency of 0.00000 even though (running CQRLog from command line) the Terminal shows that rigctl is receiving the frequency from the radio:
Sending: fmv
Msg from rig: 7178040
Msg from rig: RPRT -9
Msg from rig: VFOB
Sending: fmv
Msg from rig: 7178040
Msg from rig: RPRT -9
Msg from rig: VFOB
If I refresh TRX Control the frequency will return to the TRX Control window.
Any ideas why rigctl is getting the frequency from the TS-50 and it does not show in TRX Control or New QSO windows? This problem does not seem to appear with my other radio (Icom IC-718)
Thanks.

Hi!
Have you read this: https://www.cqrlog.com/comment/6385#comment-6385

Hi Ken,
I also have an old Kewnwood TS-50.
It is working quite slow with Fldigi on my Ubuntu 18.
It is slow, but as a beginner I am slow too ;-), so I would like to get it working with CQRLOG.
What settings do I need in " TRX control" tab in CQRLOG Preferences window.
Currently I am using all default settings except:
Rig Model: 201 Kenwood TS-50S
Device: /dev/ttyUSB0
Serial Speed: 4800
Thanks in advance.

Hi Janeks!
Good way to start is to change poll rate. By your picture it seems to be 500 that is far too small time for slow rig like TS50.
Make it as 5000. If that helps you may try smaller value. How ever not much less than 2000.
Additional parameter (preferences/trxcontrol/extra command line parameters)
--set-conf=timeout=3000
may help too.

Hi,
Sorry for so loong delays!
I tried the settings you wrote above, but unfortunately no success.
There is some warning message
On console I see this
rigctld started!
Connected to rigctld @ localhost:4532
WARNING: TGtk2WidgetSet.InvalidateRect refused invalidating during paint message: TStringGrid
Sending: � 1
Sending: fmv
Sending: fmv
Sending: fmv

And so on...
Thanks in adwance

OK!
Oh, I thought that you got it working!
First of all, have you updated cqrlog and hamlib to latest versions?
If so your TS50 model number is now 2001.
First and fast try is to replace Host: "localhost" to 127.0.0.1 close preferences and use "NewQSO/File/Refresh TRX/ROT control"
Next; What happens if:
Set cqrlog to use rig model number 2, poll rate to 3000 and remove check from "Run rigctld at program start" and close cqrlog.
Then open console and start rigctld by typing:
rigctld -m 2001 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 4800 -vvvvv --set-conf=timeout=3000
Leave console running and start cqrlog.
You should now see (from console) how cqrlog polls rigctl and you should see all possible error texts that happen after "fmv" is sent.
If fldigi works also rigctld/cqrlog should work. How ever you can try to start flrig and if that works then set cqrlog to use rig model 4 and set device as 127.0.0.1:12345 and also "Host" from localhost to 127.0.0.1
