How to run rigctld so that it does not erase TONE CTCSS while transmitting.

Example:
ISS GPREDICT
145.990 MHz / CTCSS: 67 Hz – (Uplink VHF)
437.800 MHz – (Downlink UHF)

When I set the tone ccts to 67Hz on the radio and run rigctld, the tone setting disappears.

When you say the tone setting disappears you mean the visual display? That happens but it should not be turning off Tone...if you select the function again it should still be on. It's just the display that disappears due to doing other things.

The tone disappears as soon as rigctld is enabled, I try to manually enable it, but when gpredict starts updating the frequency, the tone disappears, over and over again.

Maybe gpredict doesn't send the tone setting to the radio, so I thought that maybe there is an option in rigcrtld to not change this setting. or maybe there is another way.

I need rigctld debug info. Tone should not be touched at all. For rigctld add this

TONE disappears when you press the Engage button in Gpredict.

These are the only commands that I see that might affect tone 0000 fe fe a4 e0 03 fd ...... 0000 fe fe a4 e0 07 00 fd ....... 0000 fe fe a4 e0 0f fd ...... 0000 fe fe a4 e0 18 fd ...... 0000 fe fe a4 e0 1a 03 fd ....... 0000 fe fe a4 e0 1c 00 fd ....... 0000 fe fe a4 e0 26 00 fd ....&.. To see if one of these is causing is run rigctl instead of rigctld Turn on the tone then execute each command and see if it turns it off. Do it this like this for each command...first one is the example here w \0xfe\0xfe\0x94\0xe0\0x03\0xfd The command will timeout and might give an answer but all we're interested in is the tone turning off.

I did a test, I hope it's OK, none of these commands turned off TONE

I think I found the reason for TONE deletion

If in VFO mode it is constant, e.g. 430.000 and you set TONE, it is ok, but just change the frequency, the radio turns off TONE.

Gpredict changes the frequency but does not enable TONE.

It does not send the turn on tone command.

I don't know if TONE can be turned on permanently in the VFO mode of the ic-705. I couldn't find it in the manual.

This is the Gpredict problem.

Thank you for your help.

Do you know what command to send set_tone 67Hz?

Michael Black · Answer 9 · Fri Feb 02 2024 05:48:36 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Assuming you can compile the latest version get it from the git master or wait until tonight's build if you want at https://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net/ I added a new option

…

--set-conf=tone_enable=1 This will re-enable tone after every frequency change.

it works, I recompiled the new version and it works :))

/opt/hamlib/bin/rigctld -m 3085 -r /dev/ttyACM0 -s 115200 -c 0xA4 -t 4533 --set-conf=tone_enable=1

Thank you very much for your help
