Anyone With A Fresh Ubuntu 11.04 And Working Rig Control?

Just curious if anyone has working rig control with a standard CQRLog installation on a fresh Ubuntu 11.04 system? With the 11.04 and latest CQRLog, the program doesn't seem to poll the rig (watching a terminal) at anytime. It's almost as if the logger can't access the serial port, but fldigi doesn't have a problem when configured to use hamlib. I have tried a standard RS-232 serial port and a USB <-> serial cable which also works on previous versions of CQRLog. I just loaded Ubuntu 10.10 and the latest CQRLog and all works fine.

Any help appreciated. Thank you...

Hi Paul:

I have stable working rig control with Cqrlog (1.0.0)
and Ubuntu 11.04 with a Yaesu ft-450 (127) using
the following config:

/dev/ttyS0
Rig 127
Poll 500
Serial Speed 38400
Stop Bits 2
Data Bits 8
HandShake Hardware
Parity none
DTR on
RTS on

I had issues with a USB-Serial adapter early on with
Cqrlog v. 9.6.0 and Ubuntu 10.10 with my old Dell
5150 desktop. Creating a hard serial port with serial-
PCI card corrected my rig control setup problems.

Hi Richard.

Thanks for the reply. I used your settings as a starting point and found out that I now need to set handshaking to hardware. I am almost 100% sure I had it set to none before and it worked.

So now, for a Yaesu FT-950, my working settings are:

/dev/ttyS0
Rig 128
Poll 500
Serial Speed 38400
Stop Bits 1
Data Bits 8
Handshake Hardware
Parity None
DTR Off
RTS Off

Thanks again, Richard!

I would be curious to hear if other FT-950 owners had problems like this.

Thanks Richard and Paul for putting me on the correct path here. I also run an FT-450 and was struggling to get rig control. Handshake Hardware did it for me. But I have another question: my start and end time for a qso stays the same. When I commence a qso and enter the call sign, then hit save qso at the end, the times are both the end time. How can I get the start time to be the actual start time of the qso? Also, I dont know what settings to enter for internet connection. What is the proxy and the port? I am using a USB/serial port adapter. Any ideas?

Hi Grant

After entering the qso call sign, a tab (or space bar
if enabled) will advance the cursor to “my rst”. An
entry or tab will advance to “his rst” and start the qso
clock while allowing time to enter an appropriate rs.
Upon conclusion of the qso, the qso save will log
the correct start and end times. The user, password
and proxy options are only necessary if your internet
access requires them.
