Hello to the whole group. I use cqrlog version 2.5.2 on an arch distro. I use two radios a FT3000DX and a FT991A. Used individually I have no problem, but when both are turned on the USB port references (/dev/ttyUSB*) are changed every time. I tried to assign names to the ports with udev rules but a radio the FT3000 works while if I switch to the 991A the PTT is activated immediately. I'm forced to use one radio at a time, if I turn one on I have to turn the other off. Does anyone have a tip for me on how to fix this problem. I tried using different rules for udev by assigning mnemonic names based on the serial number of the individual port. Names are assigned but when I switch to 991 it goes straight to TX. Thanks 73.

CQRLOG AND TWO RADIOS
HI!
You do not need udev rules.
When both radios are connected open console and give:
ls /dev/serial/by-id/
You should see two long names. They are rigs. Remove other rig and do command again then you see what radio did disappear and you know their names.
with my ic7300 happens:
[saku@hamtpad ~]$ ls /dev/serial/by-id/
usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_IC-7300_03003483-if00-port0
Now combine the path from ls command and the rig id name together and put this long line to preferences/TRXControl rig address.
The input column can receive long line, just use copy and paste to generate the line in text editor and then paste to that column.
In my case:
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_IC-7300_03003483-if00-port0
This name should be unique for every model and it is not depended on what USB socket is used.
