TRX Control of Radio Two

I've successfully configured the TRX Control to work with my TS-590 on Radio One and would like to add my KX3/KXPA100 as Radio Two. However, when I switch to Radio Two it either shows 00000 or it copies the TS-590 setting and controls it.

Setup:
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Elecraft USB cable connected to the jack on the back of the KXPA100
Speed set to 38400 on KX3/KXPA100 (successful connection with KX3 and KXPA100 utility)
RigId: 231 K3/KX3
/dev/ttyUSB2 (checked to ensure it is the correct USB device)
Default Settings on all others

I am a member of dialout group.

Is this a known bug?

Hi Will,

do you have checked option "Run rigctld when program starts" on radio two tab?
Run cqrlog from console with --debug=1 parameter and paste here rig related part when you swith to the second radio. Thank you!

Petr,

Petr,

Here is the output for the TS-590 in Radio One that seems to work fine:

Settings:
-----------------------------------------------------
RigCtldPath:/usr/bin/rigctld
RigCtldArgs:-m 231 -r /dev/ttyUSB1 -t 4532 -s 57600
RunRigCtld: TRUE
RigDevice: /dev/ttyUSB1
RigCtldPort:4532
RigCtldHost:localhost
RigPoll: 100
RigSendCWR: FALSE
RigId: 231

Starting RigCtld ...
/usr/bin/rigctld -m 231 -r /dev/ttyUSB1 -t 4532 -s 57600
rigctld started!
Connected to localhost:4532

Here is the output when I switch to Radio Two the KX3 (yes, I have 'Run rigctld when program starts' turned on):

Settings:
-----------------------------------------------------
RigCtldPath:/usr/bin/rigctld
RigCtldArgs:-m 229 -r /dev/ttyUSB2 -t 4532 -s 38400
RunRigCtld: TRUE
RigDevice: /dev/ttyUSB2
RigCtldPort:4532
RigCtldHost:localhost
RigPoll: 500
RigSendCWR: FALSE
RigId: 229

Starting RigCtld ...
/usr/bin/rigctld -m 229 -r /dev/ttyUSB2 -t 4532 -s 38400
rigctld started!
Connected to localhost:4532

Re: TRX Control of Radio Two

Hi Will,

please try to change the rigctld port of radio two to something different e.g. 4533. It could help.
I'm sorry, right now I have only one radio available - FT-817. My primary rig TS-930 died a few weeks ago :(.

Thanks Petr!!! Changed the port on Radio Two to 4533 and everything works fine!!
