I can add that capability. But I think we need both ATU On/Off and Tune On/Off
So maybeTUNE 0/1ATU 0/1
orTUNE 0/1TUNER 0/1
One being a verb and one being a noun. So TUNE actually starts tuning and TUNER
turns the automatic on/off
Opinions?

Hi Bill,
I do not use the hamlib rigctl. Perhaps I should try it that way. But switching
band via command line seems to be not really more elegant than just switching
band directly at the FT-991 . Anyway, I fully agree, that this topic has only
low priority in comparison with others. In my case having such an option would
simply be quite useful.
Just FYI see below FT-991’s CAT commands for ATU control: “AC000” means ATU
off, “AC001” means ATU on, and “AC002” means start tuning (which is not
relevant here). Adding “AC000;” or “AC001;” to the CAT commands for band or
frequency change works quite well with my FT-991 for the purpose of switching
the ATU on or off.
Hi Uwe,
you have misunderstood my suggestion. Hamlib rigctld is a rig control server,
it allows multiple applications to access the same rig. What I was suggesting
is that you can use rigctld to connect to your rig and then have WSJT-X connect
to rigctld. WSJT-X will do rig control as before, the difference is that
another application can now be used to send other rig control instructions to
the rig as well. That other application could be the Hamlib rigctl command line
tool that could tell your rig to enable or disable its ATU. The only part of
this that is missing is that currently Hamlib only knows how to send the AC002
command to an FT-991 but it can be easily enhanced to also send ATU on/off
commands (AC001/AC002). The command would look like:
rigctrl -m2 U TUNER 1
to turn on the ATU and:
rigctl -m2 U TUNER 0
to turn off the ATU.
