Re: Hamlib problems


 

Thanks Kelly. I have made an interesting discovery. I started over with a backup without Hamlib, and reinstalled. After installing Hamlib it worked as it was supposed to. I entered the following command:???rigctl -m 1028 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 38400, and it returned Rig command: as it was supposed to. I entered f and got 14.074 which was the frequency my radio is on. All as it should be.

Then I tried to set it up so that it auto started on boot. I followed the instructions here:?

So here is what I entered:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/rigctld.service??

I added this to the empty file:
?

[Unit]

Description=rigctld Hamradio rig controler

After=syslog.target network.target

?

[Service]

Type=simple

ExecStart=/usr/bin/rigctld -m 1028 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -t 4532 -s 38400

ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

RestartSec=60

Restart=always

User=ae8u

Group=ae8u

?

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

I then ran the following commands:

?

sudo adduser ae8u --system --group --home /var/lib/rigctld

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl enable rigctld.service

sudo systemctl start rigctld.servictl

Now if I enter rigclt,?
?it still returns Rig command: as it should. But when I enter f it comes back with 145000000

Can someone please help me understand what is causing this behavior?

Thanks and 73,
Mike, AE8U
