good program for communicating with a radio usb port


Patricia Wilson
 

I have an FT-891 which has a USB port and I would like to find out if there is a good program for communicating?with it. Either command line or GUI. TIA.

I admire and enjoy both flrig and fldigi. I want something that allows me to send cat commands I formulate from either a command line or a text GUI. I don't think flrig supports that, does it?

Hello Patricia,

Yes. Flrig support this..

If you don't want to run Flrig + XML commands, you can alternatively use Hamlib's rigctl:

DX-Commander also works well.? Has a feature for adding user-customizable commands to the GUI (FLrig may have as well, just haven't researched as deeply).??

Of note, WSJT-X can use FLrig or DX-commander as the radio interface in addition to it's built-in hamlib support. Just select FLRig or DXCommander as the "radio".

I really like ?.? I use it exclusively as my CAT software for my FT-891.
It is one of a suite of programs to support your radio activities,? They work great, are
well supported and all free.

Thank you I will take a look at both of these. I must admit that I only ever use flrig as a gui rig control.

But DX Commander doesn¡¯t run on RPi, does it?

I will say there is a learning curve to the DXLabas software; once you get through it, it is very capable.? Since this is an RPi focused group, I don't recall if DXLabs is even available for the Pi.? The FLrig/digi combo *does* run well on the Pi.??
