Update: Here is what I’ve figured out so far.
wfview server : RPi built , installed and starts without errors even though no Icom radio is present ; I set it it up to be a server on my local network with audio in/out using the local USB Codec
wfview client : MacOS build
If I manually set the radio to an active frequency I am able to connect the Mac client to the RPI server over my home network and stream audio (only trying RX so far)
I cannot run FlRig to control the radio as wfview and flrig conflict. I saw the rigctld option and explored that but it doesn’t help my situation because it can’t connect to the radio, only allows another application to connect to same radio wfview is already connected to (if I understand it correctly)
I don’t think wfview has an option to connect to an external rig control application so I may have hit the end of my experiment as once wfview is running it takes over the USB connections.
Open to any ideas anybody might have that I can try while I’m physically at the radio QTH
Thanks!
