TRX Control doesn't work - TS 850-S

Hi,
I'm using Kenwood TS-850S connected to my computer via a USB port. TRX control doesn't worked with CQRLOG 1.4.1 and Xubuntu 12.04. Here is the information displayed in Terminal when I click on "Refresh TRX Control" in CQRLOG:

RigCtldPath:/usr/bin/rigctld
RigCtldArgs:-m %m -r %r -t %t -s 4800
RunRigCtld: TRUE
RigDevice: /dev/ttyUSB0
RigCtldPort:4532
RigCtldHost:localhost
RigPoll: 500
RigSendCWR: FALSE
RigId: 209

Starting RigCtld ...
/usr/bin/rigctld -m 209 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -t 4532 -s 4800
rigctld started!
Result0:N
Result1:Y
Result2:Y
Connected to localhost:4532

I have no idea what could be wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.

try this:

rigctld --model=209 --rig-file=/dev/ttyUSB0 --serial-speed=4800 --set-conf=dtr_state=OFF, rts_state=OFF

the port defaults to 4532

TRX Control does not work with 756PROIII

I am having a problem getting rigctid to work with an Icom 756PROIII. I am using a USB to Serial adapter /dev/ttyUSB0. I receive a config parameter error,
I am not sure what is the error:

"Config parameter error: Invalid parameter"

These are the results from Terminal when refreshing TRX Control:

I have a Pro3 so lets see if

I have a Pro3 so lets see if I might be able to help... 

First thing you should probably do is take CQRlog out of the loop and make sure that rigctld works properly on your system..  If you are running linux and you don't already have it installed download grig, its part of hamlib and it's a good way of testing rigctrl

Once you have that installed open a terminal and type..

grig -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -m357 -s 19200

Of course you need to make sure that your Pro3 cat data speed is set to 19200 if not adjust either the radio or the -s parameter to match what your rig is currently set for..

Don't worry about any other settings. If you haven’t altered anything in the radio setup it should connect using rigctld defaults.. 

If that works and you can connect to your rig with grig then you need to check and make sure you can connect grig to rigctld so exit grig and in the terminal type

rigctld -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -m357 -s 19200

open another terminal and type

grig -r localhost -m2

Now play around with grig to see if its communicating with the pro-3 and look for errors in the output of both terminals.. If this works that means that rigctrld is working properly and the problem is in your CQRlog setup.. 

What you can do is start rigctrld manually and then select 2 as the rig id in cqrlog then refresh cqrlog's trx control and it should connect with the rigctld instance you started manually..
