hamlibs and ic706 MK iig

Hi Folks,

I am fairly new to CQRlog and it's working great except I cannot seem to get it to talk to my radio. I'm using the same cable that was working fine years ago under windows. It's connected to the com port and as far as I know the port is addressed correctly. What I don't know is the proper strings to put in to get the radio and the computer talking. The hamlibs website is apparently down, so I am turning here for help. If anyone can fill me in on the right settings for the icom 706 MKiig, I would really appreciate it.

Hello Tim

The Hamlib code for the rig should be 311. the CI-V address should be $58. leave all other parameters as default. Remember that your user must be member of the dialout group to be allowed to talk on the comports. Took me a couple of days to figure that one out. Described in another forum post somewhere how to do that the easiest way.
