Announcement: wfview v2.00 released

Another thought, you can try manually installing the Visual Studio redistributable. It will be located in your install directory (usually C:\Program Files\wfview) and will be called vc_redist.x64.exe just run the program and accept the defaults (or repair/reinstall if already installed)

perfect. Works now. Thanks.

However regardig rigctld. Besides virtual port, the ā€œnormalā€ setup with rigctld enabled
image
and wsjtx/fldigi configured with 127.0.0.1:4533 (unchanged) does not work. Audio is ok, but not qrg/mode.

And, just seen: memories are working like charm on both 7300&7610. However, how do I get back to VFO mode (without pressing the key on the radio)?

Thomas, DL3EL

That is a very good question.The IC7610/7300 manuals arenā€™t very clear on that point. On various other rigs (IC-9700, IC-705,IC-905), you must be in MEM mode before you select a memory, so there is a button that toggles between MEM/VFO at the top of the window. I will need to see if I can do something similar for the 7610/7300.

It worked last time I tried it :slight_smile: Unfortunately, with so many new features (and rewrites of existing ones) it is quite possible I have broken something, but it should be an easy fix for v2.01!

Phil,

Thanks so much!

The house I live in is small, so the radios are in a room across the house where the coax can easily egress and my office is on the opposite side so I use WFView extensively to operate across the network. It is much appreciated.

OK this is fixed in Gitlab (and will be in v2.01) Now all rigs will have the Memory/VFO mode button in the memories window - tested on IC-7610, but should work on others)

Iā€™ll add on here with 2.0 and an IC-7300, hamlib rigctld on wsjtx on 127.0.0.1:4533 DOES work for me, although wsjt-x freezes with the orange bubble for several seconds before going green, itā€™s responsive after that.

However, Log4OM just shows offline even when itā€™s connected with the same settings as I was using when wfview was 1.64, itā€™s log file kinda hangs at:
2024-12-28 01:29:55.4094 INFO: [HamlibEngine] : [HAMLIB] Supported VFOā€™s:

Like it canā€™t find a VFO

wfview logs something along the lines of:

2024-12-27 19:29:55.408 INF rigctld: session connected: 4888

2024-12-27 19:30:04.568 INF rigctld: Setting VFO to ā€œVFOAā€

when Log4OM tries to connect, so there is something that wsjt-x tolerates that log4om does not.

Thanks for this, thought I was losing my mind.

I have just tried wsjt-x and fldigi, yes there is a delay with wsjt-x initializing, I suspect it is expecting a reply to something and not getting it, but as you say it does work (as does fldigi)

I admit that I havenā€™t tried Log4OM with the new rigctld code (it has been completely rewritten) so it may be using a command that none of the others are. I will test this tomorrow.

Just saw this, yes I suspect thatā€™s the problem, wfview ā€œshouldā€ respond with a list of available VFOs, not sure why it isnā€™t?

It would be great if you could get it to work.

The pre-amp and attenuation dropdowns are blank also not all the sliders and buttons like the NB appear to work. I donā€™t being a mule for the IC-718 and the Apple Silicon.

That fixed it on Windows which is my server, but still missing from my Mac fyi

The IC-718 has a very limited command set, but it looks like some functions are available, so I will take a look.

Please quote posts or start a new thread, as I have no idea which of my many replies you are responding to!

Ok sounds great. Feel free to reach out directly if you want access to my station or to test a particular build.

The current build appears to be solid on my M1 Macbook Air running OS 15.2. I have been scanning the bands all night listening.

Oh good grief, sorry!
The tuner, CW, and preamp/attenuator issue that you posted the 7300 rig file for, same issues on my M2 Mac.

I have tried to replace the rig file for IC-7300 with the one you provided in your answer but still missing both tune button as well as cw transmit.
I tried to restart wfview a few times and to revert to default but still no tune button.
Running Windows 10 and tune button works great in v1.64.

Are you 100% sure that you have replaced the file with the one provided earlier, as it will definitely fix the issue?

The same file provided to @DL3EL above should also fix this issue. Replacing the file is a little bit more difficult on MacOS though.

  1. Download the file IC-7300.rig above
  2. Right click (or shift-click) on the wfview binary and select ā€˜Show Package Contentsā€™
  3. Drag the IC-7300.rig file to Contents\MacOS\rigs folder
  4. Select ā€˜Replaceā€™ when asked.

When you run wfview, this may cause a warning to be generated about binary being altered, but you can safely ignore this until we release a new (fixed) version. I didnā€™t receive a warning though.

Iā€™m sure i used your provided .rig-file but I did not remove the old file, just renamed it. When actually removing the original file the tune and cw buttons came back from the gray shades :o)
Iā€™m sorry for not following the instructions completely and replaced the file as isā€¦
Iā€™m now using the file found on the github pages as I tried that as well.

I guess you either just look for any rig-file containing ā€œIC-7300ā€ even if there are other letters in the filename as well, or just parse one file at a time until the rig ID is found.

Anyway, when actually removing the old file completely it works. Iā€™ll continue to test also the remote features when I have the time.

Thanks for all the work you all put into this project!
