Hello. My CAT control and RX / TX seems to work fine. Just getting this persistent pop-up “Rig Control Error – Hamlib error: Command rejected by the rig while getting current VFO frequency.”
I have tried CI-V unlink / link changes, CI-V Transceive on / off, CI-V Baud Rate on 19200 / Auto, and currently running at USB baud rate at 115200.
Not sure what to do. Thanks for any advice. 73.

Hi Jonathan,
What OS?
–Elliott
de W6EL
Current Raspian OS. Also with current sudo apt-get updates.
Hi Jonathan,
That should have been obvious to me since you are on a Pi!
You’re connecting to the rig using the wfview pseudo-terminal, correct?
Can you send me a logfile from when wfview is running and JS8CALL throws the error?
If the log file is enormous, delete the log file, and then run wfview and JS8 to generate a fresh one.
Thanks,
–E

Will do. More soon. Thanks.
This ‘May’ be an issue that I (hopefully) fixed yesterday when sometimes CI-V packets addressed to wfview itself escape through the pty device when they should be filtered.
Unfortunately, Hamlib isn’t at all tolerant of receiving packets that it isn’t expecting (even ones not addressed to Hamlib) and it generates this kind of error.
If you pull the latest master (from today) and rebuild. It should have the fix.
You will also need to run these commands from the source directory as I have added a couple of sub modules)
git submodule init
git submodule update

thanks, Phil. I am limited in my linux knowledge. If I WGET the new build and install, will it overwrite the existing? Can you offer the basic commands to do so?
Thanks again.

Hi Jonathan,
I am assuming you followed the instructions at INSTALL.md · master · Elliott Liggett / wfview · GitLab
cd wfview (or wherever you downloaded the source to)
git pull (this will get the latest updates)
git submodule init
git submodule update
cd ../build
qmake ../wfview/wfview.pro
make
sudo ./install.sh

Thanks, Phil. I did the update and still getting the error message. Will keep working on this.
Update – been running fine this afternoon with no errors so far. Perhaps simply restarting occasionally will clear the cobwebs. Currently on JS8 20m.
Thanks for a great program. If you are collecting ideas for future updates, wonder if it would be possible to include Club Log (or some other service) spots in the spectrum scope. Could be handy. Just a thought.
Well, typed too soon. Error returned. But functional.
Hi Jonathan.
Yes we have an idea of ‘overlays’ that can be superimposed on the spectrum scope, these can include band edge markers, cluster spots, memory locations and anything else that we can think of 
I haven’t tried JS8Call but the most recent version seems to work much better on WSJT-X, I also changed the polling frequency to 2 seconds (from 1 second) and that seemed to help, I’m not sure if JS8Call has this option?
73 Phil M0VSE
Thanks, Phil. Yes, JS8 allows for that adjustment as well. Will try it out.
Thanks again. 73.
In JS8, changed my polling freq to 4 seconds. Seems like it could be a latency issue with my older 3B+ that may be tripping up Hamlib. Fingers crossed.
I am having the same issue using WFview controlling an IC-7300 with an M1 Mac Mini. I get the same issue with JS8 running direct too. I know this is not a WFview issue, it works great. I am not running any other application.
I am posting here since it was mentioned on this post.
The message log says “ Hamlib error: Command rejected by the rig while getting current VFO frequency”
Thanks,
Bill
