First,  welcome :-)

The GUI's would be most welcome !!

Second, if you put your rig in the testrig.c file
with the correct port and compile, do you see
communication with the rig at all.




ie:

#define SERIAL_PORT "/dev/ttyS0"   <----------- your port here

<snip>

 	/*
	 * allocate memory, setup & open port 
	 */

	retcode = rig_load_backend("ft747"); <---------  your rig here

	if (retcode != RIG_OK ) {
		printf("rig_load_backend: error = %s \n", rigerror(retcode));
		exit(3);
	}

	my_rig = rig_init(RIG_MODEL_FT747); <------and here

ie: replace the "ft747" with your rig type

Just trying to establish if its a listrig thing
or something else.
