TRX Control with Icom 7200

I just started with CQRLOG and Linux, so I am really a newbie.  
Is there more information on the CI-V setting on the Icom 7200?  This is posted in the online help page
 
Extra command line arguments usefull when you have to specify more parameters to rigctld. E.g. CIV address.
 
Thanks very much

Re: TRX Control with Icom 7200

Into Extra command line arguments you can put parameter which will be added to commandline for rigctld. The right format is
 
--civaddr=id
 
where id is the CIV address.
 
As far as I know, there is no need to specify this parameter if you let the default value. Please run CQRLOG from console like this:
 
cqrlog --debug=1
 
and you'll see what rigctld returned and what is wrong.

Re: TRX Control Debug log; Failure to connect to radio

Thank you for the debug output but the insteresting part starts a few lines after last line from debug log you've pasted here :). Could you add also the rest of debug output, please? Thank you!

I may have posted teh new log

I may have posted teh new log in another post, sorry for the confusion.  Also, I do not understand how to determine the usb port I am using.  When I run lsusb, the port numbers seem to change when I restart the computer.

Here is the problem:
Starting RigCtld .../usr/bin/rigctld -m 361 -r /dev/ttyusb009 -t 4532  -s 9600 rig_open: error = IO error rigctld started!Connected to localhost:4532
 
Are you sure that your USB to serial interface is connected to /dev/ttyusb009? The device name is case sensitive, I suppose it should be something like /dev/ttyUSB009 or /dev/ttyUSB9. If you don't know what devide name it has, unplug the converter, plug it again and dmesg command. You should see the device assigned to /dev/ file.

I took your advice, and got it working.  The radio must be connected to the computer and on before I open CQRLOG.  If I open the log and then turn on the radio, rigcontrol never sees the radio.  
At least I can proceed with up the learning curve.  
Thank you for the advice

Okay so what is the best way

Okay so what is the best way to identifiy the usb port I am conneted to?  I have a radio with a built in sound card, so I just plug the radio into a usb port,  On wiindows program DX Labs, it identifies the Com Port 3.  When I run "lsusb" command in the terminal, I see two possible locations, 005 and 006 now, so I was trying that.  If I change ports, I see a differnet number.  
I can't belive it is this hard to make your program work.  I have searched your forum and none are using an IC-7200 radio it apprears.  I can find no help with this?  
Why cant the program discover the correct port?

as i posted in another thread

as i posted in another thread you put your problem in , i think this could help.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Gary, 
 
What distribution are you running ??
Looking at your config in the log file , i see something weird...
/dev/ttyusb009
is all in lowercase...
I am pretty sure that the USB parts needs to be in upper case.
To be sure type in a terminal screen: ls /dev/tty*
This should give you all tty devices including the usb one....
Also the 009 seems to be an odd number... my usb>rs232 converter gets /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1
Anyway, the ls command should give you back what port the converter has...
 
good luck!

Thanks, that was the problem,

Thanks, that was the problem, I needed upper case for USB.  I loaded FLDIGI and could see the correct port.  Thank you for the help.
