I'm not _convinced_ that this is an issue with the alpha software, however, I cannot get RigCAT to control my Icom IC-746Pro, whereas Hamlib works just fine.
I'm using a USB-to-RS232 serial adapter, which is connected to a home-brewed RS232 to CI-V converter. Hamlib will control the radio and SteppIR controller correctly, and changing frequencies on the radio will update fldigi correctly as well. RigCAT just gives me error messages. Also...not sure if this has been covered in the Yahoo! group for the release software or not, however, I'd like to propose an enhancement. The 746Pro has a data mode for USB/LSB which turns off the speech compressor and changes the filters, among other things. There is a unique CI-V command to activate and/or read the status. It would be nice if there were a way to specify that fldigi activate the data mode instead of having to do that manually. It does make a difference with reception. My computer/radio system configuration is: OS: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS CPU: AMD K8 Sound Interface: Signalink USB Radio Interface: homebrew CI-V 73, Eric keerbs AD7HM ------------------- http://www.pcez.com _______________________________________________ fldigi-alpha mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/fldigi-alpha
