Locked Need help setting up IC7300 #hamlib #bearing #Icom
|
w5ec
For several years I have been happily using my Ten Tec Jupiter with WSJT X. Since it was not capable of CAT, I had to select the radio as "NONE". This worked well for me.
Now I am upgrading to the IC 7300, so I selected that as the radio in the settings. Now when I click on "Test CAT" I get Rig Failure message "Hamlib error: IO error while opening connection to rig". I believe I have all settings correct but there must one I don't know about. Any suggestions? |

Did you install the Icom drivers?

I haven't, but I will today. I can't believe that a brand new radio doesn't come ready to play!

I can’t believe your computer didn’t come with the Icom (and every other esoteric USB device) driver preinstalled. 😁

Guess you should have gotten a Linux box after all, then your _radio_ operations would be easy! 73, Willie N1JBJ On Oct 2, 2022, at 10:03 AM, w5ec <bhw5ec@...> wrote: |

To be clear, the Icom driver gets installed on your computer. If you running a PC. look at page 22 of the manual to start.

The IC7300 is all set to go. It's your computer that isn't. This requirement should be clearly shown in your IC7300 instruction manual. Larry / W1DYJ On 10/2/2022 9:31, w5ec wrote:

I can’t believe how many different Linux versions there are with
incompatibilities all over the map. How does anyone figure out which app version works with which Linux version. Ubuntu, Fedora, Alpine, BSD, FreeBSD… At last count there are over 600 distros and 500 in active development. And don’t get me started on Codenames such as Etch, Lenny, Squeeze, Wheezy, Jessie etc for the Debian distro.

Your 7300 comes "ready to go". The problem isn't with your radio, but with your PC. If you read your manual or the many resources available online, you will note that installing the correct drivers ON YOUR PC are a pre-requisite to operating on the digital modes, just like many other rigs.
The ICOM drivers aren't installed on your radio, they are installed on your PC. Once you do that, you should be fine. Ron - KJ5XX |

The applications are 100% cross compatible in most cases! What may not be are the compiles . . . . an issue which is trivially resolved by simply compiling for your platform! And the kernels, other than version, so not vary between dist, nor do the Gnu tools, etc. A distro is just that - a collection of things put in a wrapper. The distro authors don't write any of that, other than possibly distro-centric admim "crutch" tools. (IE, a skilled user can admin any variant exactly the same way with the same toolset - a text editor!)

That, overall, is a correct statement! Having used all three major platforms (Mac, Win, and Linux) Linux is far, far, easier and infinitely more flexible in most cases. And LinUx *IS* very user friendly! (It's just a bit choosy on who it's friends are! :-) :-) ).

Some of us can afford to dedicate a computer to the shack, but I'd bet that the vast majority of hams must make ham apps work on the single computer that they already own, and that must do the rest of their computing. 73, Jim K9YC |

That's exactly why I run Linux - shack, personal, and professional. I have yet to find anything I cannot do (well, except BSOD . . . ). The key on things like mail is to use *standards*! I can get 100% access to my mail from any platform . . . the app really has no bearing . . .

And, god forbid, I absolutely must run something in Whinduhs, it runs better inside Linux virtualization than native, and I get both platforms on the same hardware and screen simultaneously.

One problem that keeps people from Linux is they then have to know 2 systems since for most people total abandonment of Windows or even MacOS is just not a viable solution.

For example there is no RTSystems for Linux nor DXLABS, nor N1MM. Running those in a virtual machine is just not a reasonable process to mess with. Outlook LT Gil W0MN Hierro Candente Batir de Repente 44.08226 N 92.51265 W EN34rb -----Original Message-----

Really? The VM process seems pretty trivial from here . . . and I walked away from Windows (personal, ham, and professional - and I work in technology) somewhere in the mid 90's . . . Stop buying into the MS lies!

I can create a VM to run <whatever> in in 60 seconds or so . . . . load time for an OS is typically 10's of minutes max . . . and, to avoid the VM, dual hootmis another trivially simple config. On October 2, 2022 5:23:22 PM CDT, Gilbert Baron <w0mn00@...> wrote:

For you MAYBE yes, for many, not so much. If I am going to use Windows apps like N1MM ( no real substitute exists) and DXLabs for logging and award tracking I have to use Windows. You cannot really say that running Windows in a VM is better than Native, really??

I put my 80+ year old parents on Linux and off of Whinders . . . . *THEY* found itnfar easier as well.

And yes, I *AM* saying Win in a kvm VM is better . . . . far faster boots, similar run speed (depends on the VM config) and it can't corrupt the rest of t stem!
