[Hamlib-developer] problem with Icom 756 Pro

[Bob L. <bo...@li...>]

1) Hamlib sounds terrific, however when I installed it last night and tried it on my Icom 756 Pro, the results were mixed: using rigctl, I can get the frequency and mode. But when I try to retrieve PTT (command "t") or signal strength (command "l" then "STRENGTH") it gives an error. I would be grateful for any suggestions on how to resolve the problem, if possible.

2) I was able to communicate with the serial port only as root. Does anyone know how to get Red Hat 7.3 to allow normal users to access the serial port? (/dev/sttyS0)

3) In addition to my own programming projects, I am planning to using hamlib with xlog. Does anyone recommend a better x-windows logging program?

thanks,
