Mike, Bill thanks for the suggestions. Played around with this today... Installed hamlib-1.2.15.3 (latest).
Can toggle sdr-shell PTT via Hamlib NET rigctl using port 19090... $ rigctl -m 2 -r 127.0.0.1:19090 T 1 $ rigctl -m 2 -r 127.0.0.1:19090 T 0 Set up a TCP port redirector... $ stone -n 127.0.0.1:19090/tcp 4532/tcp Can toggle sdr-shell PTT using port 4532 (assumed wsjt-x default... $ rigctl -m 2 T 1 $ rigctl -m 2 T 0 Left the redirector running and tried 2 versions of wsjt-x. wsjt-x v1.3r3673 ================ Enable CAT, Hamlib NET rigctl, Test CAT Control appears to fail because there is no way to specify the CAT hostname. wsjt-x reports... Cannot get host "None": Unknown error. Is there anywhere else to specify the host e.g. wsjtx.ini? wsjt-x v1.4r4233 ================ Select CAT, Hamlib NET rigctl. No host name or port number specified. Test CAT initially passed but then I clicked on the PTT Method dialog which is scrambled and grayed out and presumably changed the PTT settings! Don't ask me why I did that. So Test CAT now fails... Hamlib error: Feature not available while getting PTT state wsjt-x reports... rig:rig_init called rig_set_conf: ptt_pathname='/dev/ttyS0' rig_set_conf: ptt_type='RTS' rig:rig_open called Cannot open PTT device "/dev/ttyS0" netrigctl_open called netrigctl_get_vfo called netrigctl_get_vfo called netrigctl_get_mode called netrigctl_get_vfo called netrigctl_get_freq called netrigctl_get_mode called netrigctl_get_split_vfo called netrigctl_get_ptt called rigctl: unknown command "t" <<<-------- rig:rig_close called netrigctl_close called rig:rig_cleanup called $ rigctl -m 2 t get_ptt: error = Feature not available Most of the CAT test appears to work using default host:port setting (I assume localhost:4532). But there is a problem with wsjt-x trying to use an unavailable feature of rigctl because I messed up the PTT settings. Where does wsjt-x store the PTT and other settings these days? There doesn't appear to be a wsjtx.ini file any more. 73 Nick G3VNC On 29/08/14 17:34, Bill Somerville wrote: > On 29/08/2014 17:27, Michael Black wrote: >> >Or use a port redirector > If you are going to change the source and rebuild, you might as well > just build the latest development sources as that version already has > the facility to specify the host name and port number used for Hamlib > Net rig control via rigctld. >> > >> >Mike W9MDB > 73 > Bill > G4WJS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
