That's interesting.  After the timeout rigctl should not be hanging up
like that.

Just to confirm, your radio is set for 38400 baud on the RS-232
interface, correct?  I presume that your manual also specifies 2 stop
bits (Hamlib default).

Does the FT-897 have a CAT icon that flashes when it receives a command?
Some of the models did, but my FT-817 does not, for example.

Very odd.  In other words, I've not seen that before.
