WRL Cat control and other programs

App Help & How-To
1

Hi all,

With the WRL cat control (fantastic integration thank you), I believe it uses Rigctl as apart of the software, if so what port number does it use??

If it does not use a port number, when will further integrations for other programs like VarAC etc be coming ??

Oh, yes, VarAC. And I am also jusing JS8Call quite often. Dear WRL team, please add these two integrations into your dev queue.

@VK6DC Hey Doug good morning!

The cat control app is actually using hamlib and the app will be integrated into the new desktop app we are finishing development on currently.

I’ll talk to the team about integrations with varac and js8call though.

Thanks Brad

I might then have a bit of a software conflict on the pc I was using, I had Hamlib installed on it and the software may have been confused as to which hamlib instance to use

And thanks for passing the integration request on to the dev team

Hi, I was wondering if the VarAC or JS8 integration have been looked at? Maybe I missed something, but don’t see it. Also how clean is it to import a VarAC adi file into wrl. I’m thinking it might be fun to do a POTA with only VarAC

@N7ZS Not currently, i’ve never looked at a VarAC adif but as long as it follows the ADIF standard it should import just fine. You could always just import it into a new logbook and see what comes in to confirm before doing the activation
