You can't have 2 programs polling the radio directly. To multiplex the
access to the radio among several hamlib-enabled software, you need to
run either rpc.rigd or rigctld (the authors of hamlib recommend rigctld
which is more maintained), which is a daemon that you launch in
background. You then configure the other program to access rigctld (or
rpc.rigd) using the "special" rigtype that this provides.
I use this setup to share radio control between fldigi, xdx, and xlog
all together.
