serializing the serial port?

I've made some tests of running gMFSK and xlog together with my Orion
using hamlib.  Also, I have a few widgets that talk to the Orion
separately.  Eventually xlog dies.

What's the Party Line about multiple applications accessing a rig?  I
see some comments about re-entrancy in the rig driver, but I am sure
that it is not truly re-entrant.  In any case a rig command / response
has to be atomic. Perhaps there is need for a module that takes
"parallel" requests and serializes them for the rig?  Or what?

73, Martin

Isn't this (oon of the) reason(s) rpc.rigd exists?

Yeasu FT1000D try

	All,

Attached is a patch for ft990.[ch] files to make FT-1000D work. I've done
minimal testing, basically rigctl can set and get freq and mode. Also, xlog
seems to be happy with this library now.

I'm ready to do more testing but I need to know what to do. Also, I think
the way I did the change is not the best way, but it was quickest for me to
try.

Let me know what are next steps, and thanks.

	serge

It may be better to, since there is someone with actual hardware, to separate 
FT990 and FT1000D at this point of time as there are other functionalities 
that need to be considered to get the most out of the FT1000D, e.g. full 
duplex dual VFO etc.

Only some apps are working with hamlib

I have hamlib 1.2.4 installed and have tried a number of applications. 
Both grig and rigctl appear to work fine with my Kenwood TS-570D, but if
I try to use either TLF (0.9.23) or Xlog (1.2.1) I get errors
indicating that hamlib is not successfully communicating with the radio. 
I've double-checked that the same rig and serial port settings are used
in each case.  Any ideas on how I could troubleshoot this further?

Are you writing the WJ8888 on your own, or are you using the Hamlib
backend to control the radio?

Care to contribute some code to the WJ backend?
If you're using some parts of Hamlib code, don't forget the license is
LGPL.

Try your luck on http://mods.dk, manual section, or maybe on premium
radio's web site.

Quick question: how do you hook up the SYNCHRONOUS IO to a standard PC?
To my understanding, PC's only have UART, which are asynchronous.

> We have look at the SYNCHRONOUS MODE using a SYNCH-ASYNCH converter.

The sync-asynch would be the way to go. 
If the sync speed is slow enough, you may also play bit banging on the
parallel port or using the control signals of the serial port.
Some Hamlib backends are doing it for rigs controllable on SPI bus and
alike.

It looks very good, Martin.  The only nit I can lodge is that I would
replace Netscape with Mozilla in your second paragraph.  While the
current versions of Netscape are derived from the Mozilla code base,
AOL does not make all its customizations open source.  And all versions
prior to Netscape 6.0 were closed/proprietary source.

Perhaps even better than mentioning Mozilla, you might like to mention
Open Office in its place.  This gives three separate areas of
software--OS, web, and office suite.

Re: article on hamlib

Nate,

Quite right about Netscape.  I'd mention OO.org, but most ham readers
probably don't know about it. (They should.  Cheap is good, right? 

Some day, somewhere we should have a Linux/FOSS column in a major ham
magazine -- right next to the embedded systems column. But computers
means Windows for most of the brethren.
