FLRIG with Windows, Linux and the MAC


 

Howdy all,
?
First post here!
?
I've been a Linux user since the mid 1990's starting with Redhat 7.x, 8.0 and 9.x when they switched to Fedora.
?
I then switched to SuSE Linux at around version 9.0 and have stayed with OpenSuSE to this day using Leap 15.5 on my 6-core AMD desktop and Leap 15.6 on my Mid 2012 MacBook Pro (Core i7)
?
I have had FLRIG and FLDIGI working on Winblows, and many earlier versions of OpenSuSE? (even KDE Neon) and it has always worked well!
?
Interesting problem now though.
?
I cannot get the FLRIG S-meter, power, SWR etc (except Voltage display) to work now using the Linux version on the MACBook Pro nor can I get it to work on my other (newer early 2015) MacBook Pro (running MAC OS Monterey)
?
All the above operating systems are connected to an ICOM IC-705 (not at the same time!!)
?
Anyone know what obvious problem I have that I cannot see?
?
Thanks,
?

Using a Kenwood TS-870s and Flrig (also the .75 alpha)

I find that the BW filter LF cutoff setting is always reset to 300Hz whenever the high cutoff setting is changed.
It's not the rig, you can manually at the rig's front panel flip between LSB/USB without the filters being reset.
Also one can manually change either the High Cut, or Low Cut setting without affecting the other.

The LF setting is also replaced with the HF setting, after changing the LF setting in the Flrig UI.

Not noticed any unwanted working frequency changes, but the above is when just using Flrig ONLY (without Fldigi running & linked to it.)

I've not dug into that yet, but there are one or two other "odd" anomalies I've noticed.? I'll have to start gathering info as I find them.

As I had a part to play in that rig backend, I'll dig deeper as time permits. But I've a lot of other non radio stuff "on my plate" at present.

PS:-

Forgot to say...

Flrig 2.0.05.75, built from source on LMDE 6.? (Linux Mint Debian Edition.)
Controlling a Kenwood TS-870s via a "Prolific 2303" chipset USB<>Serial device running at 57600bd.

A Udev rule is configured, so that device reliably shows up to Flrig etc, as /dev/ttyTS870.

Also using DTR for PTT so the radio takes Fldigi (or other digimode) TX audio via the rear ACC port.
RTS/CTS handshaking is in use, as "is required" by the Kenwood.

Works as expected on macOS 12.7.6 here, run it 24/7 year in year out.
