Re: [Hamlib-developer] rigctld and multiple programs

Yes, this works.

I had two instances of a logger program polling a a single rigctld process.

It was found that  the poll rates of both client applications had to be changed from once a second to once every two seconds, in order to get rid of time-outs, application freezes, etc.
