IC-756proII/MFJ-1275 PTT issue(s)

[Jerry Stratton]

I have an ICOM 756proII and an MFJ-1275 connected via a serial port to USB adapter.
I use Linux, Ubuntu 18xxx and it should be noted that JS8Call performs flawlessly with this exact setup.

When I use  "-p" I can get the radio to key when an Ardop connection is called for via the browser. I cannot get it to UN-key.

In a linux terminal, it says the following when you type "-help":
"...See the ardop documentation for more information on cat and ptt options
  including when you need to use -k and -u"

Can anyone tell me where this documentation is?

All I find are the pdf files and unless I missed something...(it has happened, I'm not Commander Data)...the answers I seek are not there.

I am interested in solving my issue, so if you have advice about this issue please share it.
That said, I would like to be connected with an actual document containing the options/answers.

Per an email request, my call is N1UGW.

Hi Jerry,

Are you seeking documentation for ARDOP, hamlib (rigctld) or Pat?

It is recommended to use hamlib (rigctld) for PTT control with Pat+ARDOPc.

No problem :)

You should read through these two wiki pages explaining the gist:

https://github.com/la5nta/pat/wiki/ARDOP

https://github.com/la5nta/pat/wiki/Rig-control

Also, Jason / KM4ACK have made some great Youtube videos to help getting started with Pat and ARDOP:

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply Martin.

This is the first I heard of a third package being required.

I plan on trying it tonight.

Hi again,

You did not say which implementation of ARDOP you seeking documentation for. But here is a link to the documentation for ARDOPc: http://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Documents/ARDOPC.html.

I recommend that you contact the ARDOP authors regarding this, if you plan on using ARDOP’s built-in rigcontrol capabilities. But as mentioned, the recommended approach for Pat is to use hamlib/rigctld instead.

Sorry I can’t be of any more help. Good luck!

Sorry, it cut off the top of the last reply.
I seek ardop options for the PTT and doc on configuring it properly.
