R1CBU and digital modes

 

Ok. I have tried everything known to mankind, to get digital modes to work with R1CBU.

It was my understanding that R1CBU was just a different GUI, on top of the radio. It is NOT.

So at first I thought that flrig was at fault.
So I booted up the default rig, and changed wsjtx to use IC-705 and set it up for CAT control. It worked flawlessly (via ttyACM1). So, I knew that everything was working.

I rebooted into R1CBU v19. And I didn't use flrig either. So all I was using was the hamlib part of wsjtx. Same IC-705, same CAT control parameters. Nothing. So, I can only come up with the conclusion, that R1CBU doesn't work with digital modes.

Too bad, I wanted it to, so bad. I like the interface.

Ok. Not clean but I got both ft8 and js8 to work.
Flrig would not work in any case.

FT8 works with newest version of hamlib
JS8 only works with command line rigctld

I've been using it for all digital modes with my Surface and it works flawlessly. The only time it acts up is when the battery is low.

This firmware is light years ahead of the stock.

Good luck!
 

Ok. Update.

It does work.

Flrig somehow won't talk to it. But if I use hamlib DIRECTLY, it all works.

$ rigctld -m 3087 -r /dev/ttyACM1 -s 19200 -C stopbits=1 &

and set all my digital modes to use hamlib

Thanks WF5W - was struggling with JS8.
 

Had not run R1CBU with FLrig. Tried both R1CBU 0.17 and 0.19 with FLrig 1.4.7 with same results. FLrig to talk to X6100 using FLrig's X5105 driver. best with the Xiegu fw In addition, FLrig would change some X6100 settings (VFO & its freq), but not read any X6100 values.

Must be a R1CBU CAT handling bug, as FLrig 1.47 works pretty well with the X6100 using Xiegu fw, especially with FLrig's IC705 which has more functionality than its X6100 driver.

rigctld -m 3087 -r /dev/ttyACM1 -s 19200 -C stop_bits=1 &

This works for me on Linux mint with stop_bits not stopbits. See the man rigctld. Use regctld -L to see all devices. For JS8 I need to use X5105 which is 3089.
 

I found out you couldn't just use -L
you had to specify the radio and then -L

so ... rigctld -m xxxx -L

I had no trouble with x6100, but I just rebuilt the hamlib with the latest and greatest version
