QtSoundModem on a separate host: changing radios
|
My IC-7100 stopped transmitting power.
I want to use my IC-7300 in its place. I have been running pilinbpq (on a rpi;-) since December 2020 and QtSoundModem64 on a tiny x86 laptop for about 2 years. I am no longer familiar with how to select my radio's serial port; /dev/ttyUSB73 . 'aplay -l/arecord -l' reports my IC-7300 on "Card 2" ("hw:2,0" ?). My IC-7100 was "Card 1" ("hw:1,0 ?) I cannot find a reference to "/dev/ttyUSB" nor "hw:#,0" in QtSoundModem.ini. I found a previous reference to "hw:1,0" in (GUI) QtSoundModem64 -> Settings -> Setup Devices -> Dialog -> Sound Card. I changed that to 'hw:2,0'. BPQ did set my IC-7300 to 7.101 MHz, so maybe something is working. My IC-7100 uses CI-V address 88h, my IC-7300 uses CI-V address 94h. Where to I edit this setting? 73, Chuck |

That should be in the rig control area in bpq32.cfg. Assuming you are using the "new method" per , you would need a line like this for the IC7300, and there should be an old one for the IC7100. I'm assuming /dev/ttyUSB73 is the serial port for CAT control on the 7300. RADIO 1 /dev/ttyUSB73 9600 ICOM IC7300 94 For the most part I don't know either radio, but I do know that the 7300 has built-in sound. Based on what you mentioned above, it sounds like the 7100 does also. I'm not sure how you had PTT set up in QtSM with the 7100. With QtSM running on a different machine than BPQ, it can be set to use Hamlib for PTT, which will connect to BPQ's hamlib emulator. Then QtSM's PTT via hamlib is converted by BPQ to CAT commands for PTT. In that case the rig control line would need to include invoking the hamlib emulator: RADIO 1 - and QtSM will need to be set to use hamlib for PTT using the IP address of the BPQ machine. For all I know you may already be using the hamlib method with the 7100 given QtSM and BPQ are on separate computers. |

BPQ controls the radio, so you set CI-V address and serial port in the Radio or RigConfig sections of bpq32.cfg.

In QtSM change the Sound Card setting to match your new hw: number. 73, John On 21/01/2025 16:00, Chuck Gelm wrote:

Hi, Lee: Many thanks. For ~2 years, the only think I have in the 'rig control area of bpq32.cfg' is RADIO 1 HAMLIB 10.78.196.98:4532 # IP address of QtSoundModem (my tiny x86 laptop).

Is it rigctld/QtSoundModem on the laptop that needs to know the C-IV port and not bpq32.cfg on the RPI? I am going to set some 'styling' on my coding so that is looks different than my comments. ? 73, Chuck |

OK Chuck, so now I know you were using hamlib with the 7100. There are different ways to get this to work actually. Continuing to use hamlib is probably the most straightforward path, which is what Niels was pointing to. He had a better crystal ball than I did with respect to what you were already doing with the 7100. In your rigctld, 3073 looks like it is the right number for the 7300, and Niels' example matches that.

port and not bpq32.cfg on the RPI?
? Yes, rigctld needs to know the C-IV port and not BPQ in this case. QtSM uses hamlib as Niels example showed. ? 73, Lee K5DAT |
