No connection after power down/on

I have a remote setup with Ic 7300, Pi 4 bookworm as server and client. Besides Wfview, I am also using CQRLog om the client Pi.

I have always had the problem that after powering down the 7300 from the client, and then trying to reconnect the next day, I most of the time get no connection to the server unless I reboot the server Pi with Win remote desktop and sudo reboot in the terminal window. After that the connection works again. This has been the case on all wfview releases, now I am on 2.11 at the client ans 2.03 at the server.

After reading another thread I wonder if the traffic from CQRLog in some way crashes or locks up the server Wfview after the transciever is put into sleep mode? I will test this by shutting down CQRLog before power off the transceiver and disconnecting client/server, and see if the problem persists.

CQRLog connects to the rigctl port on the server Wfview, and sends the command fmv to the transceiver every 500 ms, which answers by frequency, mode and VFO number, which is picked up by CQRLog. I suppose this command persists after the transceiver is sleeping and disconnected, could this crash or lock the server Wfview?

I am also using the frequency answer for my SPE Linear amp, so that it knows the frequency before actually transmitting. I use a dedicated CI-V connection from transceiver to the amp for this. If the transceiver was not questioned about the frequency from CQRLog, this would not work.

if CQRLog is running on the client machine, why are you connecting the rigctld on the server? You are better off connecting to the ‘client’ rigctl anyway.

When a machine is running as a wfview server, I don’t really recommend connecting anything to it other than the client.

Thanks, will try that!
