Phil, John (GW0WZL),

it's not a left-right pondian issue. “Actively refused” means that the operating system (OS) has decided not to accept any connections on, in this case, port 4532. That will be because flrig on the Pi is listening on port 12345. No server is listening on port 4532, so there is nothing for a connection to be made to. When the request to connect to port 4532 is made from computer A (the Win 10 laptop in this case) the the OS at computer B (the Pi in this case) replies “request refused”. This is done so that computer A “knows” that there is no point in continuing the procedure, and thus computer A may safely and cleanly abort whatever was behind the connection request (in this case log4om trying to connect to flrig on the Pi.)

It is necessary for both machines to be using the same port number as a pre-condition, but not guarantee, of success. So what clues might these differing port numbers offer us?

The first clue is that Log4OM is trying to connect to Hamlib. Modern Hamlib development includes rigctld () which acts as a server for use by other programs. The default port for rigctld is 4532.

My understanding is that it is possible to run flrig and rigctld, and one configures rigctld to talk to flrig, so that ultimately flrig is the single program that directly talks to the radio. There is a very clear discussion of how at , by AD8JL. (That link wasn't easy to find, but is essential reading.)

Now a picture's worth a thousand words, so your configured system would look something like this, simplified slightly, to take the least complication approach:

The key point is that rigctld is configured to use flrig to control radios &c., rather than controlling any radio directly from itself. A possible point of confusion is that rigctld is configured by setting flrig as the type of radio that it talking to. Then, when required, Log4OM talks to rigctld, which in turn talks to flrig, which then talks directly to whatever radio is in use. flrig acts as the single point of contact with the radio.

Any necessary debugging of the operation of the connected radio (FT-3000 in your case) is limited to the link between flrig and the radio.

[There is a lot more to this, but that is not germane to your troubles.]

P.S. Checking, the FT-3000 supports setting & reading the antenna state via CAT control. However, flrig does not appear to be designed to support a radio with switchable antennas.

I have been looking at other problems, and this message always misleads me. I immediately think that it's been refused becaused of e.g. an authentication error. It's "acrtively" refused - to me that means that the server has analysed the request and decided to refuse it. Is this an American/British language issue?
