CAT RETRIEVED FREQUENCY NOT IN QSL RECORD

[nc3s]

Maybe I'm wrong, but I noticed that the frequency ( shown from the CAT retrieval ) isnt going into the QSO record. I have to manually enter the frequency into the freq box? Is that the way its supposed to be working or is that supposed to be automatic?

If its supposed to be automatic where do i set it up?

Not nearly enough info!

Version number - Always needed

Is the radio connected via CAT, if so Hamlib or Omnirig and what Radion?

Is the QSO being entered manually or coming from an external program, if external provide full detais

If the QSO is coming from an external program explain the connection set up method

LOG4OM V.2.34.0.0

NOTE that the first image (rig2) using omni-rig, correctly has the frequency as obtained by the CAT interface, but the frequency boxes at the bottom, have not been populated. (xiegu x6200)

NOTE that the second image (rig1) using omni-rig, has correctly populated all the fields. (YAESU ftdx-101mp)

What causes this? is there a configuration item for this?

Thanks

The previous images illustrates the issue, where rig2 info isn't populating the data entry fields but rig1 is.

This discrepancy makes me think that the CAT frequency as shown near the top of the images is sourced differently from the frequencies that need to be populated near the bottom of the image.

Phil,

I would check the 'ini' file that you have selected in OmniRig to properly communicate with the Xiegu x6200.

The 'ini' file is what provides all the proper communications parameters between any given logger program and each specific rig.

Problem is in the Omnirig Rig .ini for your radio, consult Alex the developer or explore the file yourself.

We cant do that for you because we dont have that radio to test with.

Hint There is an Omnirig test app which will guide you

Hello

Makes sense.

Do you know if log4om performs a specific query of some kind to obtain the Freq info for the bottom and band data entry fields?

Does log4om determine band from the returned frequency or does it have a specific query to retrieve band from the radio?

Does log4om just perform a single query of the rig to omni-rig and it returns a block of data that is parsed for the info.

Many thanks

Omnirig is an interpreter so Log4OM sends the same request to Omnirig regardless of the radio connected.

Example a request for the frequency sent by Log4OM will be [pmFreqA] regardles of which radio is selected

Omnirig then translates that to the command for the specific radio that is selected as rig 1 or 2 so it could be Omnirig then asks the radio for the frequency by sending FB........;

So if there is an issue with retrieving the frequency it will be the rig.ini file because Log4OM asks the same question for every enquiry to Omnirig regardles of the radio make or model


These are the set frequency commands for the FT101D and MP

Hello

we are building an ini file for the X6200 with Omni-rig.

Some of the functionality works, but specifically we need to know which omni-rig commands does LOG4OM2 use to populate the FREQ, RX FREQ, RX Band and mode change to CW?

We're retrieving the frequencies, but nothing is populated in the bottom row of data entry boxes.

[G4POP]

Same as those for vfo a and vfo b freq and band

Have you tried swapping radios between rig 1 and 2?
