I've tried all of the ports in the Rig Control > Hamlib as I can for the IC-7300 (stable) section and it still won't let me use Hamlib for rig control; the Soundcard > Devices works just fine, tho.

What recommended settings in Hamlib should I use to get the radio & computer to connect?

?

Radio: IC-7300

?

Laptop: Sony Vaio VPCF2 converted from Windows 7 to Linux Mint Cinnamon 21

?

fldigi version: 4.2.06

?

Available ports on fldigi: (from bottom to top):

/dev/ttyUSB0

/dev/ttyS7 (thru S0, in descending order)

/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_IC-7300_02055716-if00-port0

/dev/ttyUSB0 is usually the correct one. Have you added your username to the dialout group?

?

sudo adduser (your user name) dialout

?

And then reboot. If you built it from source, here are the complete instructions, though I've never been able to get aptitude to work right, so I just use apt.

Never mind.? I don't know what I did right (or the right way), but after several hours of searching this group and others, it's working (both with fldigi and WSJT-X) again.? I knew that that particular laptop was working to connect to the radio previously, but for whatever reason, didn't this time.? Again, I'm still learning Linux and don't really understand many/most of the Terminal commands (what they mean and/or what they do, other than the "sudo" command), but I was able to get the laptop and those programs to connect and work, finally,

Thanks anyhow, Steve - you mentioned adding my username to the dialout group, and I remember finding an article on how to do that, so, yes, I did.? Still wouldn't work in either program at that point, so I did some other things (I don't really remember what they were, because it was 10pm - AZ time - by then and I had been at it since after the club's VE license testing session that morning - the radios in question are actually at the club station [ - that site hasn't been updated in a while, so it only shows the IC-7300 and not the new(er) FT-dx10] and I'm the Station Manager).? And, yes, /dev/ttyUSB0 was the correct one, in both instances (fldigi and WSJT-X).

?

Now on to working on the club station's OTHER radio, the FT-dx10; Since I'm the station manager, I have the privilege of being able to use them (almost) any time I want to, "as if" they were my own, so I do a lot of contesting from there, under my own call, but using my own laptops/logging software, even though the station does have a dedicated computer (desktop) for each radio; one of the club's rules is that operators there can't log their own QSOs on the club's computers.

Great! I have noticed after I installed Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon, Flrig will sometimes stop communicating with my radio (a Kenwood TS-570 with FTDI USB-to-serial interface) after some period of time... maybe 30 minutes or an hour? I haven't spent much time troubleshooting it yet, and I've been spending a lot of time in Windows lately. I don't recall that happening with earlier versions of Linux Mint, or any other distros for that matter.

Keep us posted!

BTW there is an IO Group which is more focused on the Linux versions of the FL Suite: /g/linuxham/topics
