Hamlib support for using CubicSDR as controllable receiver

[N5FPP]

I don't think this is a duplicate, if it is please delete it.

The current rig control is great if you want to have a second radio slaved to CubicSDR. Adding support for CubicSDR to act as a controllable radio from hamlib clients would be very useful also. A very useful example of how this can be done is included as part of gqrx. Doing so would allow applications like WSPR-X or gpredict to control CubicSDR directly.

I would recommend implementing the Hamlib Net RIGCTL (id = 2) protocol.

Hello,

I currently work on my spare time on rig-remote (https://github.com/Marzona/rig-remote) and I would appreciate if CubicSDR exposes a tcp/ip socket for sending CubicSDR rigctl commands from rig-remote. TCP/IP would allow to have the features of rig-remote to be used with CubicSDR too with no effort on CubicSDR developers.

I think you can do exactly what you're looking to do already in the master branch. For example I have wsjtx controlling cubicsdr over tcp by:

1. Start rigctld and bind 127.0.0.1:7076
2. Start CubicSDR latest git clone build with hamlib support enabled -
3. Rig Control > Control port > Set to 127.0.0.1:7076
4. Rig Control > Select Control Rig, Follow Rig, Track Modem
5. Rig Control > Model > Hamlib NET rigctl
6. Rig Control > Enable Rig
7. Control cubicSDR from rigctld or application interfacing with rigctld

Still can't do this on 0.2.7 so I guess the milestone got missed?
