Once you’re satisfied, ctrl-C will exit rigctl. If you just want a quick one to convince yourself you’re actually connected to the radio, just type ‘f’ (get_freq) at the Rig command prompt - this should return the freqency that your radio is currently set to. Check out man rigctl for a list of the available commands. Now that you’re connected you can try issuing some of the rigctl commands. If that all looks good, try using the other ttyUSB port (1 if you tried 0). If you got an error, such as “Communication timed out” double check that everything is connected and your rig is on. If the connection was successful you should find yourself at a “Rig command:” prompt. So now go ahead and turn on the radio and let’s see if we can connect to it: $ rigctl -m 135 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 38400 -v Now you’ll want to add your user to the ‘dailout’ group so you can have read/write access to the devices: sudo usermod -a -G dialout username where username is your actual username. … at least that’s what I see on an Ubuntu system. If you ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* you should see:Ĭrw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Jan 7 11:39 /dev/ttyUSB0Ĭrw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 1 Jan 7 11:39 /dev/ttyUSB1 OK, so now you need to make sure your system user has privileges to access the ttyUSB devices that just came online. We don’t need that right now, but it’s worth noting for later. You may also have noticed in dmesg that another USB device came online - it’s the USB audio in/out device that your radio presents. These will be the devices we use to talk to the radio. Usb 1-2.1: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB1 Usb 1-2.1: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0 It’s probably ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 the dmesg lines look like:

Look for the lines that tell you where the virtual serial ports are attached. Run dmesg again, and you should see the radio’s usb bridge and other devices connect. At this point you can run dmesg again to confirm nothing’s changed yet. Once you turn your power supply on you computer will see the radio’s USB controller).
Now, with your radio AND radio power supply turned off, go ahead and connect the USB cable (NOTE, in the future, you won’t need to have everything off, this is just to watch the various USB devices come online. Leave this terminal open for later comparison. But we need some more info too - namely the devices we’ll use to talk to the radio over the USB connection… Connecting the radioīefore you connect the radio, go ahead and open a terminal and run dmesg. Now we’ll use that to tell hamlib which radio its talking to. The first column, 135, is the definition entry number for the FT-991. rigctl -l will list all supported radio definitions- it’s a long list so we’ll grep for our model: $ rigctl -l | grep -i ft-991 First let’s find the radio definition entry we need in hamlib. Once that’s installed you should be able to start using some of the tools to further sleuth the needed config.

I pulled down the libhamlib-utils package, which will pull in its dependencies, including the hamlib package, libhamlib2: $ sudo apt-get install libhamlib-utils This is pretty simple in Ubuntu as there are packages ready to install. OK, so let’s get hamlib installed along with some basic tools that use hamlib. This is the highest setting on the FT-991, faster’s better, right? I set everything back to its default and intend to rebuild the config as needed. These were the settings I was running in my previous setup, recorded for reference:

With that as a starting point, below are the non-default settings I’ve got on my FT-991 coming into this… I have to confess - since I was running WSJT-X in a configuration that piggy-backed on HRS’s local control server, I’m not entirely sure how necessary some of these settings are, and whether we’ll need to update any of them. I’ve also done some configuration to work with WSJT-X based one this page. As I mentioned in the previous entry, I’m coming from Ham Radio Deluxe, and I used this document to configure my radio to talk to HRD.

laptop running Ubuntu linux (16.10 Yakkety)īefore we get into the computer software side of things, the FT-991 connectivity settings need to be configured.This edition will focus on getting hamlib installed and minimally configured.
