Reload RIG interface

I am running my ham related software on a Linux system (Kubuntu 18.04).

I have a quite complex setup with a number of programs communicating with the rig either via rigctld if a program supports it or directly via a virtual serial multiplexer written in python.

In this setup cqrlog is not always running so I start rigctld independently and configure cqrlog not to start rigctld at start up. This is working fine a long as rigctld is not restarted while cqrlog is running or cqrlog is started before rigctld is running.

From this situation comes my wish:

Add a function "Reload RIG interface" which is trying to connect to the rig again if the connection was lost, similar to the existing "Reload CW interface"

If there is already a solution or workaround that allows to reconnect to the rig without restarting cqrlog I would be glad to know.

Reload RIG interface

Hi
At least opening TRXControl window and change rigs does reload rigctld.
2nd rig can be fake -m1.
At bottom radio buttons press 2nd rig and.then 1st rig again. It reloads rigctld and restores port 4532 connection.

did you try the "refresh TRX

did you try the "refresh TRX/ROT control" feature in the file menu of the new qso window ??
I believe this should do what you describe here

It works!

Thanks Alex, "Refresh TRX/ROT control" does exactly what I want. Don't know how I missed that in the menu but not the "Reload CW interface". I'm getting old.

Hi!

Seems that I'm getting old, too.
How ever if you have TRXcontol window open (as I have here always) the fastest way is is to switch rigs, even there is no real second rig.

Otherwise File/Refresh TRX/ROT control is faster !

We all miss the very obvious

We all miss the very obvious things when we look for something..... this is how the male brain works....
We always look for the complex solution...... I am guilty to do this also.....

Glad that this works for you....
