Log4OM not sending freq to Fldigi or JT65-HF

Post by w1wrh »

Good afternoon, I am setting up a new win 10 computer with Log4OM, Fldigi and JT65-HF. I have been successful in getting the Communicator and CAT to show the radio frequency in the main screen of Log4OM. I am running Log4OM as administrator. I am using OminRig controlling a TenTec Jupiter.

I am able to run Fldigi, do a qso and enter the log information and it goes directly to Log4OM with the exception of the frequency.

I noticed when I open JT65-HF that it also doesn't show the frequency.

I believe I have followed the set up instructions in the manual, specifically the part starting on page 186. I do have both boxes checked on the communicator as suggested in another thread. I am using the XML-RPC only on the Fldigi rig section.

I have this combination working on my old XP computer, so I have checked back and forth and cannot see anything different.

I am sure I am missing something obvious, but I am at a loss where to go next. Can you offer any suggestions, or direct me?

Thank you very much.

Use WSJY-X which utilises Omnirig and your problem will be resolved.

Suggest you also employ JTalert-X for full Log4OM integration

Good afternoon. I have tried both programs as suggested. Each of them, by themselves works and reads the frequency if I set them to run by them self. When I connect to Log4OM using the XMLPC, the logging works, by the frequency doesn't show in Fldigi or WSJT. I see on my communicator, that near the bottom where it shows rig status it is not showing the frequency. I can click on spot and rig changes.
Any idea what I am missing to get Fldigi to read frequency.

When using XML/RPC you must ensure that none of the CAT options in FLDigi are enabled

Good Afternoon. I am still trying to get the frequency to work on fldigi and wsjt-x. I have the Log4OM communicator working as shown in the picture above. I have no rig control on either the fldigi or wsjt-x program and am using the XML/RPC for fldigi.

As you can see in the picture above, I have all green lights and the rig status knows what band I am on (see arrow), but does not show a frequency.

as a test, I installed HRD free version and it works. I installed DX Labs Commander and it works. Both carry the frequency to the other programs and back when logging.

Is there some setting in Windows 10 that stops it from sending the frequency to fldigi and wsjt-x? Both programs are running with admin privileges.

Both will log the qso but neither give a frequency.

I really like to look and functionality of Log4OM.

Any ideas of what I can look at?

Thanks

Did you check the three boxes indicated below?

and did you ensure the port numbers are OK?

I checked those, and they look to me to match what I see in the manual???

Have you ensured that FLDigi rig configuration does NOT have any of the cat controls enabled?

Did you select WXM/RPC in FLDigi configurations by checking the box and then clicking on INITIALISE

Have you set Log4OM to run as an administrator

Did you disable all firewalls and antivirus software temporarily to ensure they are not blocking the connection

Are you certain that nothing else is running

I have partial success 😀
I connected a different radio and all works as you directed me above.
So it boils down to this. The cat command I show in an above post does not not have a frequency to pass to fldigi when I have the TenTec Jupiter connected even though the frequency shows on the main screen. When I connect a Yaesu FT950 the cat command shows a frequency and passes it to fldigi.

Is something missing in the omnirig connection for the Jupiter?
