The headset profile is standard Bluetooth, but the PTT isn't. They use BLE for that and i don't think anyone has documented which attributes or how to emulate it with a computer.
It also claims to have a serial port profile. 

The mic jack has two modes, one of which uses the UART and is intended for the remote head. If CAT-like functionality is to be had, this is where you're going to find it. 

This is the device I'm talking about here:

Subject: Re: [Hamlib-developer] Anytone 578uv

AnyTone sells a Bluetooth hand mic and PTT button that's able to control the rig, but i don't think anyone has documented how it works.

I've managed to pair both a cordless headset and a PTT switch with an Anytone, and as far as I can tell these are standard bluetooth functions.

Hi Steve.

I don't think that radio is capable of being supported by Hamlib.
Radios like that have software that program memories into an EEPROM but
don't have CAT commands to change frequency, mode, or VFO like HF radios
do.  The Chirp project
(https://chirpmyradio.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home) often provides

It's the design of the radio and whether it supports a command set such
as for the Kenwood TS-480:

https://www.kenwood.com/i/products/info/amateur/ts_480/pdf/ts_480_pc.pdf

that determines whether Hamlib supports it or not.
The Anytone programming app has NO mention whatsoever about any CAT functionality. The Anytone goes into a separate mode while it is under PC control handling data transfer and then the data update.

Maybe so, but tell me, why all working, when chosen Kenwood TS-2000
as a rigmodel, instead of Hamlib Net rigctld?

Hard to investigate, It's my friends system and trying to find

Ok,this is not end of the world, sun is still shining :)

Hamlib doesn't handle sound

If you explain what you are trying to do and show your configuration
and the debug output at the maximum level (rigctld -vvvv ...), maybe
we can help

-- 
73 de IU5HKX Daniele

For rigctl you need the model (-m 2028) and the port it it is connected 
to (-r <COM#> fill in yours).  If you have problems, you can add 
debugging output with -v thru -vvvvvv.

Do you want to use an application that uses Hamlib such as WSJT-X,
Fldigi, Log4OM, CQRlog, or the like?  Or, do you want to do something
using the Hamlib test utility rigctl?

> https://dl2man.de/5-trusdx-details/

That page states the radio has TS-480 compatibility.  Some programs will
let you specify the radio by name and others by model number.  If the
latter, then use model number 2028.

Hope that helps.

TS-2000, Signal-link box, Fedora 43, latest Hamlib snapshot...
Problem, no sound out with rigmodel Hamlib NET rigctl, cat works ok.
If we choose rigmodel as Kenwood ts-2000, 2014, in WSJTX-improved
everything works ok, cat work and sound out. Rigctld is started ok, when
fedora starts.
Biggest problem is, that can't find any error messages.

So, any hints, where from start investigate?

As I worked on FreeBSD build support, pkg-config became the easiest and
most reliable way to handle the FreeBSD path differences from GNU.  It
quickly became apparent that pkg-config is no longer maintained as
0.29.2 is the last release from March 2017.  It has been supplanted by
pkgconf which is actively developed.

It appears that 0.29.2 fixes some bugs:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pkg-config/pkg-config/-/raw/master/NEWS?ref_type=heads

Perhaps these aren't relevant to building Hamlib on GNU based systems,
but I've not tested on FreeBSD, although the VM I used has a far more
recent version of pkgconf with pkg-config nowhere to be found.

Mint 20 support ended in April 2025 so security updates are no longer
available.  I understand that in some cases this is not a priority,
especially on a system that isn't connected to a network or other
considerations.

I'm reluctant to change the minimum version as 0.29.2 is already nearing
nine years of age and is the last release of that project.  Perhaps a
simple script to call sed to replace the 2 with a 1 would work and do
the Hamlib build.  That would only need to be done on the Mint 20
system.

Hi Adrian,

Mint is not the problem. The .deb and .rpm packages created with it do 
the job on all Linux distributions. However, backward compatibility is 
always problematic. You know this from your Darwin packages for macOS as 
well (10.13 or 14 vs newer systems).

In the case I mentioned, an OM was unable to install my Debian packages 
created with Mint 22.1 on his Mint 21.2 system. I then created one for 
him on my old Mint 20.3 system, which worked perfectly.  That's why I 
continue to maintain this old system. (I have a triple-boot system on my 
main machine with Windows 11, Mint 22.2, and Mint 20.3; the latter two 
slightly modified to resemble Windows 10.).

But for Mint 20.3, I need pkg-config 0.29.1 to be allowed if I want to 
compile Hamlib with it. I think others will also fall into this trap 
with the latest Hamlib versions. So the question is, does it really have 
to be that way, or is pkg-config 0.29.2 a self-imposed hurdle?

73 de DG2YCB,
Uwe

Uwe, Perhaps the wrong place to ask, but I did not realize you use Mint 
for the deb packages for 'improved'

Is it useful for me to do them for you on debian trixie as well as macos 
Darwin ?

I always do my own here and do not use your debs.

Dear Hamlib developers,

I noticed that the newest Hamlib source code can no longer be built on 
Linux Mint 20.3 because pkg-config 0.29.2 has been specified in 
configure.ac as the minimum version (see the following lines).

dnl Ensure that the PKG_PREREQ macro is defined:
m4_ifndef([PKG_PREREQ],
     [m4_fatal([must install pkg-config (or pkgconf) 0.29.2 or later 
before running bootstrap])])

PKG_PREREQ([0.29.2])
PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG([0.29.2])

However, I found out that Hamlib still builds fine when I change this to 
pkg-config 0.29.1, and that WSJT-X (Improved) works well with such a 
Hamlib build in Mint 20.3.

So my question is. Is there a specific reason why the pkg-config 
specification has been changed to 0.29.2?

I mean, I now know how to work around this, but in case it is just a 
self-imposed hurdle, could this perhaps be set to 0.29.1?

FYI: I still need my old Mint 20.3 system from time to time to create 
Debian packages of WSJT-X (Improved) for OMs who cannot handle my usual 
packages which are compiled on the latest Mint 22.2 system.

73 de DG2YCB,
Uwe

  Fix Kenwood voice memory

Thanks to Mike K6GTE and Not1MM, I finally found a contest logger that:
a) Runs native on Linux (Python)
b) Supports ARRL Sweepstakes
c) Fully supports TS-890S bells & whistles (via Hamlib)

Imagine my surprise and disappointment when Hamlib really didn't
drive the TS-890S voice keyer correctly.

This patch gets it going(limpimg).  More to come to do it right.
