Server is 1.63 on PI, client is 2.04 on Pi. Radio is Icom 7300, connections are ethernet and fiber. After radio power down and disconnecting/reconnecting, often the radio does not come up at the client, or it comes up without waterfall, or without sound.
Rebooting the client does not help, and also not rebooting the server via Win Remote Desktop. But rebooting the server Pi always solves the problem.
I also have a linear amplifier by the radio, with remote control from a client PC at the client location. This does show that the radio indeed is turned on by the command from the client Wfview. But no Wfview connection to the radio, or not with sound or waterfall.
When this happened today, I collected two tmp logs from the server Pi. I will send the two logs on following messages. I hope this will give some insight in the reason for the lost connection. The connection is lost completely or partly more often than it is working, after the radio beeing turned off and the connection beeing off for a day or more.

Hi Janne,
The issue is here:
2025-02-12 14:58:42.755 INF rig: Error using port "/dev/IC7300" message: "Could not open port. Please restart."
If the operating system cannot see the radio, then wfview also cannot see the radio.
Please confirm:
/dev/IC7300 is the correct serial port. Verify that this device exists. Also check /dev/ttyUSB0 just to see if perhaps the device symlink isn’t working.
Verify that the USB cable is definitely shielded. Some inexpensive USB cables are not made to spec and they will drop the serial connection when around a lot of RF – even 100W is enough to cause this to happen.
You may wish to use the radio scan script on your Pi to help debug the presence of the 7300.
https://gitlab.com/eliggett/scripts/-/blob/master/radioscan.sh?ref_type=heads
Download the script.
cd ~/Downloads
chmod 755 radioscan.sh
./radioscan.sh
Per your issue with power down and power up, the 7300 will allow for remote power on/off. You must put the 7300 in “standy for remote” when powering down (versus completely off). I may have the exact text of their standby mode incorrect but when you long-press Power, it should ask you for shutdown or standby.

Thanks Elliot, for the useful information. It seems likely that my problem is related to the radio-pi USB connection, as you suggest. I have another USB connection to the pi, my SPE linear amp. That is why I made the symlink rule, before this the amp and the radio competed for the device ports when starting the pi.
But perhaps there is some competition anyway, that would explain that the only cure is rebooting the pi. When the pi starts up again, the symlink rule is applied, and my problem disappears.
I wonder if the amp somehow grabs the USB device port for the radio when the radio is in off mode. I will try to investigate this with the software you pointed to.
Not shure what I could do though, if that is the case. A separate pi fot the amp would be a possibility, but that would be a bit clumsy.
