<div>as i said to you before sam I have gotten this to
work with the acid code.<br>
it will not work for full cat control using a usb serial
adapter i had tried that myself.<br>
you need a real pc with a real serial port. I am using a
pc with a pentium 4 processor with a <br>
real serial port usb to serial just does not work at
all.<br>
<br>
other wise it does work very well and you have to
program the icon 706 a certain for it to work also.<br>
<br>
i have been successful with this. unless the code can be
modified to use the gpio on a raspi.<br>
<br>
usb to serial just does not work at all not with out
modifying the code.<br>
<br>
cat control is done via the icom ci-v protocol from with
in app_rpt.c<br>

Sam,<br>

I haven't personally used the Syntor X-cat
adapter. I looked at their<br>
yahoo group and the documentation in the "files"
section. Otherwise, I've<br>
used rigctl to manage many different radios,
with great success. The first<br>
place to start is from the BBB shell prompt,
with remote-base support<br>
disabled in app_rpt. Once you get familiar with
the various rigctl<br>
commands, macros for access via AllStar are
pretty easy--just directly<br>
call the rigctl command from AllStar.<br>
<br>
I'm guessing you're using the CI-V interface
method for the Xcat? Are you<br>
using full VFO capability, or just changing the
Syntor's modes (AKA:<br>
channels)?<br>
<br>
If simply changing modes, I'm guessing some
command something like this<br>
will work:<br>
<br>
/usr/local/bin/rigctl -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -m 311 -s
19200 -c0x20 h 27<br>
<br>
-r /dev/ttyUSB0 #### serial interface to
use...<br>
-s 19200 #### serial data rate (Xcat uses
19200, based on the manual)<br>
-c0x20 #### CI-V address (Xcat is fixed at
0x20, from the manual)<br>
h 27 #### "h 27" changes to memory channel
channel 27<br>
<br>
<br>
"rigctl -l" will get a list of supported radio
back-ends. I'd recommend<br>
trying various Icom back-ends, hopefully finding
something that works<br>
100%.<br>
<br>
rigctl -l #### Get list of available back-ends<br>
<br>
"rigctl -m 311 -u" will get a list of supported
features for a given<br>
back-end, try this. Note that the "-m 311" uses
the ic-706mk2g back-end.<br>
<br>
rigctl -m 311 -u #### Get supported features for
back-end 311<br>
<br>
<br>
I'll try to help further, once I understand more
about your setup.<br>
