Hi Kari, Thanks for coming back to me. You are right. My system hamlib was out of date and was reporting 2022 for the FT-736R. I should have checked this first.
Interestingly, my rigctld-wsjtx is a symlink to the regular rigctld. But, I was running hamlib 4.5.5 and manually compiled up to 4.6.2, the latest. That fixed the issue. Thank you for that! 73, Logan N5RLD On Sunday, June 1st, 2025 at 1:32 AM, Kari Sillanmäki via wsjt-devel - wsjt-devel at lists.sourceforge.net <mxvcqkzpbftomwwphruhbthozrht...@simplelogin.co> wrote: > Hi Logan, > > On 6/1/25 07:15, hobbies.wwsma--- via wsjt-devel wrote: > > > Program Version: WSJT-X Improved v2.8.0 250501OS: Arch Linux > > > > Problem: When using, "Rig: Hamlib NET rigctl" to connect to rigctld daemon > > for the FT-736R, WSJT-X bails out when rig_get_mode returns -11 for CAT > > control. > > > > The FT-736R is essentially write-only for CAT control and doesn't support > > being asked what modes it supports.
