Has anybody gotten CQRlog to use CAT control with a Yaesu FTdx10? When I plug in the usb cable the only port that shows up is 'serial'. Can't get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi!
Fdx10 is added to hamlib in 2020-12-28, so your Hamlib version should be later than that.
Most recommended to get the source from https://github.com/Hamlib and compile it. Be aware that new compile rolls over the package installed version, or remove it before compile (you need parameter to remove only it, not depended other packages ).
For usb port:
Open command terminal and type
sudo tail -f /var/log/messages
After that plug usb in and see what happens. Also what happens when you unplug usb.
That should tell you if linux notices the rig and what port is assigned.
If linux install is new check that there are no modem managers or others that think rig is modem and "steal" the connection, and that you username belongs to dialout group for access to usb port.

My system doesn't have the file /var/log/messages. I compared the contents of /dev before and after plugging in the usb connector. When the radio is connect two new ports 'ttyUSB0' and 'ttyUSB1' appear. When I point CQRlog to either port, nothing happens. I have another rig that works with CQRlog, but CQRlog is not seeing the FTdx10. The other rig uses /dev/TTYs1
No problem with my FTDX10....
How did you set it up?
Hi k8hw,
Nothing special, using Ubuntu (now on 23.04) and a recent version of Hamlib and a recent version of Cqrlog.
Just found the name of the USB port in /dev/serial/by-id. and used it in the rig setup menu i cqrlog. Must be 38400 baud and 2 stop bits...
Do you have the FTDX working with other programs?

Make sure you are a member of the group that owns /dev/ttyUSB0
or run
rigctl -m 1042 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -vvv
and see what that says
