#ardop #flrig #pat-mail ARDOP/PAT not controlling radio through FLRIG #ardop #flrig #pat-mail


 
Edited

FLRIG works fine with FLDIGI and WSJT-x

ARDOP and PAT does not change the radio frequency nor activate the PTT when
I select "Action/Connect" on the PAT menu and then select an RMS from the list.
The same happens if I use "Find WINLINK Gateways"

This is a new build on a new RP 4B
BAP v3.1.0 - all patches added
FLRIG v1.4.2
Pat Menu v2.3
ARDOPC v1.0.4.1j
Pat v0.11.0

PTT set to TRUE in Manage PAT/Set ARDOP PTT

I have same problem here.?
Only difference in setting is mine use 5000 instead of 8080

What i also noted is that rigcontrol in conkey does not go green -?
In older version it used to go green but did not go red after closing down of pat winlink. Then i had to reboot pi otherwise other apps dont work as stand alone without flrig

Wsjt-x was not working but after installing the patch i cganged settings to another radio and then changed it back to correct radio and now it is working with new patch. Thanks for that solution Jason.?

In the pat connect screen does the frequency populate into the box when you choose an alias? If so, does the box turn green or red?

Hi Jason it does put the freq in the block and with a line through it but then in the black screen it also say it cant connect which i assume is via ip to the flrig package

Also rigcontrol on conkey stay red

Busy with brand new build again then i will test again after latest patches installed and come vack to you

Rig control staying red in Conky indicates that it isn't running. If it isn't running, Pat will not be able to control the rig. If you run into the same thing on the new system, let me know. I wouldn't apply the patch for hamlib4.2 until I tested the new system. You may not need that patch.

When I first built the Pi4B with BAP 3.08, the frequency would populate into the Pat window box but a red line would appear through the box with an error message indicating a failure to communicate with the radio.

After I did an upgrade of BAP to v3.1 (with all the upgrades), Pat populates the box and goes through a full attempt to connect to the RMS - as though it is actually controlling the radio and getting CAT responses from the radio. Of course, the connection fails because the radio is never tuned to the frequency nor is PTT activated.

Is there some other date you need to assist me?

Thanks, George - AK4NG

Which version of hamlib are you running? If unsure, run this command:
rigctl --version

Did a brand new install using BAP on www

Rigctl —version
Then it reply with
? ? ? ?rigctl(d), Hamlib 3.3

Am i using the right BAP version?

This is a pretty old version of hamlib. 4.3 is the latest version. You might try updating to a more current version. You can use the BAP update tool to update.

Both of you should run the following command:
rigctl -vvv -m 1 f
and see if you get any errors.

Ok did the test and screen say

Opened rig model 1, ‘Dummy’
14500000

But rigctl in conkey is still red and off



What is interesting is that wsjtx, flrig, jtdx,js8call and cqrlog all work. But i think they have hamlib as part of them package and not looking at external hamlib maybe?

When i start pat menu and it ends with pat mailbox running then in black screen in mailbox the following

Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig : dial tcp 127.0.0.1:4532: ?connect : connection refused

Should rig my-rig not have a name pointing to what radio i use. Like icom 7100?

Here is what I get:

pi@AK4NG-pi4B:~ $ rigctl -vvv -m 1 f
Opened rig model 1, 'Dummy'
rigctl_parse: rig not open...trying to reopen
rigctl_parse: RIG_EIO?
main: i/o error
main: rig_close retcode=-1
main: rig_open retcode=0

Ok did the patch for hamlib. It installed

I restart rpi
And start flrig
Then i started pat menu and start ardop modem. Ardop off red turned to ardop on green
Rigctl off red went to rigctl on green

But then i went to mailbox. Select a sysop and freq changed but end up with qso failure and line through freq

I did also rigctl -vvv -m 1 f
Screen message as follows
Opened rig mode 1 ‘Dummy’
Rigctl_parse: rig not open…trying to reopen
Rigctl_parse: RIG EIO?
main: i/o error
main: rig_close retcode=-1
main: rig_open retcode = 0

I then realized i started flrig with old hamlib?
I loaded any radio in and then re added icom 7100. Enter init and i tried pat menu again
Start ardop modem
Rigctl on green
Select sysop
Freq select
And ready for qso
And all 100% working now

Thanks Jason for walking us through step by step. Much appreciated

Only qsstv that still have a problem with ptt but that is a qsstv issue after they upgraded. They must still sort their version out

I solved the issue by re-installing Hamlib and now Fldigi, WSJT-x, JS8CALL and Pat applications all work using Flrig.

I am assuming that something had gotten set wrong in the Hamlib config files and that a re-install corrected it

Thanks, George AK4NG
