Is any one familiar with the use of WSJT-X with a RigBlaster interface to a Ten Tec Omni VII? I have someone who reports rig_open errors with drivers recommended by WestMountain Radio. --- John G4KLA -- Download BIRT iH

I'm working on it right now...hope to have a fixed hamlib omnivii.c today. It was really in alpha stage and was using wrong commands too. For some odd reason all commands are returning an extra byte which I haven't quite figured out yet but I'm removing the dependency on return length and using ret

well, John, I have two Rigblaster-interfaces running on my two Kenwood Radios: The Advantage is connected to my TS440SAT and the Rigblaster Blue is on my TS950S. When I first tried to connect the Advantage via the built-in RS-232-port to the Kenwood via the socalled "poor manĀ“s interface (a resisto

I can confirm the extra byte is bogusI am also running a C# program to test the commands and don't see any extra bytes via that method. Once I get the Omni working I'm going to try and track down the extra byte. -Original Message- From: Bill Somerville [mailto:g4...@classdesign.com]

Hmmm...termio on Winodws seems quite unstable...sounds a bit like it's related to the Kenwood problem too.I can test all these commands in C# and they get the expected response so I'm quite confident it's not any hardware related issue or the radio. I get the same results on Windows 7 64bit an

I tested reducing the expected response on the ?N command from 3 to 2...and instead of getting back 2 bytes I only got 1. This behavior doesn't make a lot of sense. So I'm going to ignore the length on ?N and see how that works. Mon Nov 24 18:58:12 2014 GMT(C:\JTSDK-QT\src\wsjtx\HamlibTransceiver

The string length logic seems a bit inconsistent on hamlib. It looks to me like all rigs that use hamlib serial com should be having problems. I checked some other rigs and it appears they should have similar problems with truncated responses. If you read_string() with a correct expected length f

Yes there are two functions which have no '\r'. Set Transmit On/Off *T which gives a 1-byte return (that will be PTT via CAT) Set CWChar to Transmit *C2K which gives a 1-byte return (this one doesn't matter for WSJT-X) The problem I ran into was that the logic in omnivii.c was expecting the count
