Thank you for this bit of advice Ladislav. I have struggled for
some time to get CAT control of my radios working in Linux. I
would work and work to get the correct ports going, then after
shutting down they would not work again. Every thing seems to be
very stable using the method you described. I have been dabbling
in Linux for some time, but the lack of good ham radio software
has kept me away. The QLog program appears to start to change that
pattern a bit. Thanks again.

Everything
worked. so not sure if it works even after
upgrading to ubuntu 24.04. I didn't test it.
Let me add a couple of notes.
- It's not a very good practice to use ttyUSB# devices.
These device files can change during disconnection or reboot.
I know that it is described in
almost all manuals but if you're
not sure what you're doing, it's better to use the Device ID
file. For ICOM, the port is:
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_IC-7300_03018006-if00-port0
- You have to have a write permission to your Device ID
file. So you must be in the appropriate
group as a user.
- You didn't mention what kind of
problem you actually have. An error report or some description
of the behavior is a good starting point to someone
being able to help you.
Regards
Ladislav
I hope it is OK for me to latch onto this thread. I am
also having trouble getting Qlog to connect to my IC-7300 or
my IC-9700. I recently installed Mint22 in dual-boot mode on
my computer. I installed Qlog, but cannot get it to connect
to either radio. I also have FLRig and CQRLog installed, and
neither of them communicate with the rigs. I know I must be
doing something stupid, but I don't know what it is.
Probably not a member of the correct group or something. I
have tried every /dev/ttyUSB# that I have. I know my radio
is set for 115200 baud. I just can't figure it out. I am
pretty much a linux neophyte, but I have had rig control
working under other versions of Ubuntu.
