R1CBU vs default

 

Ok. I have tried everything known to mankind, to get digital modes to work with R1CBU.

It was my understanding that R1CBU was just a different GUI, on top of the radio. It is NOT.

So at first I thought that flrig was at fault.
So I booted up the default rig, and changed wsjtx to use IC-705 and set it up for CAT control. It worked flawlessly (via ttyACM1). So, I knew that everything was working.

I rebooted into R1CBU v19. And I didn't use flrig either. So all I was using was the hamlib part of wsjtx. Same IC-705, same CAT control parameters. Nothing. So, I can only come up with the conclusion, that R1CBU doesn't work with digital modes.

Too bad, I wanted it to, so bad. I like the interface.

In Xiegu land, the GUI is responsible for CAT interface. The RF->audio part is still the same, regardless of which firmware is running on the embedded computer.?

R1CBU works fine with CAT and digital, but Xiegu has been making slight changes to the interpretation of CAT command syntax here and there and hamlib tries to keep up with those changes, so depending on which Xiegu firmware and which version of hamlib is compiled into wsjt-x is working with CAT controls, you may need make changes to the Rig selection from hamlib. The X6100 entry may work, or the IC-705, or even a Kenwood entry.

Don't give up after one try.

This firmware works with digital modes starting from version 0.12. Surprise! -?https://youtu.be/knKsxZ1Ehiw?si=RuBAm3dqG9dfCncj&t=89

I agree, don't give up.

Lance, thanks for the nudge.

I rebuilt the LATEST version of hamlib.
Chose Xiegu x6100 for the CAT control.

And everything works fine.

This can be maddening sometimes.
