[Hamlib-developer] Split mode for FT817/FT857/FT897

[Zilvinas, A. <zil...@au...>]

Greetings,

I am using latest release (hamlib-1.2.15.3.tar.gz) with FT857.
I am quite happy using it interfaced  via rigctld/"NET rigctl"  to 
various softare (wspr, wsjt, xlog, tlf, grig) except I can't find the 
way how to enter this rig into split mode.

I can set and get A or B frequencies with F and I commands but can't 
find the exact command which would turn on 'split mode'.
I tried  'rigctl -m 2 X CW 0' but this only very quickly 'swaps' VFOs 
back and forth but still no ">SPL" mode.
Strangely I can turn on split mode with grig using 'NET rigctl' as 
device... (but grig is unable to set A or B frequencies!)


There's one more thing (sorry for off-topic)
I succesfully used this configuration with earlier hamlib releases using 
USB dual ft2232 interface (SP8NTH Digital Interface) but v1.2.15.3 
refused to talk to rig. I found pretty specific command which restored 
normal behaviour with the interface I use:
setserial -v /dev/ttyUSB0 spd_cust divisor 2500

I really don't understand why it wasn't needed in earlier hamlib 
versions hihi.

Thanks in advance,
