Hi,
No matter what I do, I cannot get the CAT status light to get to green.
I do not use omnirig when using FLDigi as I do not use clusters so have not loaded omnirig in a while. I use an external interface (microHAM Digiikeyer II) and if omnirig and that hardware's program are loaded at the same time, my rig would key.
Now when I do want Omnirig to work, it won't.
The forum will not allow most of my searches, saying that the words I am using are too common. My rig is on com 4. Attached are screen shots of Log4OM settings, communicator setting and Omnirig.
I have been going around in circles for ages, for 3 hours (seriously!), to try to figure where I am going wrong.
Can anybody help?

I think your issue is more to do with the Virtual Ports that the Digikeyer installs check the Microham user guide

Hi Terry,
I have confirmed that Onirig is not working by running the Omnirig test client.
Cheers

Re: Icom 7300 and cat control
If which software is not running?
Is any other software using the com port?

Hi Terry,
I have found out what the issue is, and I am reporting back in case it helps anybody else. It was not due to any other software using the COM port. I used the OmniRig client test software to home in on this. The test program is very useful when checking on OmniRig issue and I would not have discovered the problem as quickly without it.
I had changed the "CI-V Transceive" setting to "on". All is well when the setting is changed back to "off".
Cheers

Re: Icom 7300 and cat control
So you had control over CAT off the radio, how was it supposed to work?
"CI-V Transceive" must be ON.
You have RTS and DTR High one should be low ...

Hi,
I still have problems with Omnirig. Luckily, I do not need it for any digi modes at all. With JTDX, the rig control is by the latest hamlib that is included with it. I also use JTAlert.
For my other digimodes, I use Fldigi and that setup passes the frequency to the log. In reality, I only need Omnirig when using phone and CW.
It would be nice to get it to work as I do not like to let computers win.
I will carry on trying to get it to work, if only because it *should* work.

Re: Icom 7300 and cat control
Well I use FLDigi, WSKT-X and JTAlert and none of those program's connect directly to the radio and they are not using Hamlib
WSJT-X shares the Omnirig connection with Log4OM
JTAlert communicates with WSJT-X and logs directly to the Log4OM database
FLDigi communicates with Log4OM using the XML/RPC system and logs direct to the Log4OM database as described in the Log4OM user guide and our YouTube tutorials.
All four programs can run simultaneously if I wanted to

Re: Icom 7300 and cat control
WSJT-X uses hamlib 3 and so does JTDX. When compiling from source, one has to build hamlib 3 first and then WSJT-X. IIRC, WSJT-X will not even compile without hamlib 3
Without Omnirig running, anything I put into the fldigi log field gets sent to Log4OM. I use flrig for rig control. Rigcat and xml-rpc are not used. Both their respective "use" boxes are not ticked. I have just double checked this before sending this post just to be sure. All the connection lights in Communicator are green.
If a video of the proof is needed, I will be happy to supply it.

Re: Icom 7300 and cat control
Hi Terry, thank you for all of your very helpful documentation / videos with Log4OM. I'm learning a lot!
One quick question (which is actually more of an FLDigi question) is how do you get XML/RPC to work on fldigi? Each time I unlock the IO config in fldigi, save, and then restart the program I find the IO config is locked again and I never get the XML-RPC option in the Rig tab.
I'm still working on getting all four programs to work simultaneously.
