[Trlog] Rig Control

[w9cf at arrl.net]

Ed,
I don't have an icom rig to test, but assuming you have hamlib rigctld 
installed, I believe something like:

RADIO ONE TYPE = rigctld;4532;/dev/ttyUSB0;3073;115200;148;timeout=500;

should work. Check that
rigctld --list |grep 7300
shows 3073 as the correct number. If it is different for your version
of rigctld change the 3073 to the correct number in the entry above.

I am assuming here the IC-7300 comes up as /dev/ttyUSB0. Change that
to the correct port. I believe that the CIV address is hex 94 which is
decimal 148, and the baud rate is 115200.

Alternatively, I think it should also work if you use the built in icom
rig control:

radio one baud rate = 115200
radio one control port = serial /dev/ttyUSB0
radio one receiver address = 148

Again adjust the serial port to agree with the IC-7300 on your computer.

Once you have it working, you probably want to use a udev rule to
have a persistent name for the serial port. Something like a line in
/etc/udev/rules.d/90-serial-ports.rules
like I have for my TS590SG:
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="10c4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="ea60", ATTRS{serial}=="0567003D1908", SYMLINK+="ttyTS590sg_a", GROUP="dialout", MODE="0660"
with the correct serial number for your interface, and obviously different
idVendor, idProduct, serial and SYMLINK values.

My rig 1 TS590SG then always shows up as /dev/ttyTS590sg_a.
I have a similar line for my rig 2 TS590SG.
