Yaesu FT-710 rig support in QLog

[faocrates]

Using QLog 0.34.0 the Yaesu FT-710 is not available in the drop down with the list of Equipment > Rigs. Is this something that may get supported soon? Is there by any chance \ workaround config I can use for now until it becomes available?

QLog supports all rigs that are provided by following external back-ends: Hamlib, Omnirig (v1/v2), TCI.

If you are talking about Yaesu FT-710 support in Hamlib, then the rig was introduced in Hamlib version 4.5 (more Changelog).

You did not write which distribution you use, but QLog on Windows/MacOs already uses v4.5.5. Flatpak for Linux also includes hamlib 4.5.5. Other packages depend on your distribution. As far as I know, Hamlib 4.5 is included, for example, in ubuntu from version 23.04.

Unfortunately, I don't know any workaround for it now. Maybe google answers your question better.

Thank you for your response, I'm using Linux Mint here. I now used the QLog Flatpak for my install and as suggested the FT-710 is now an available option. I've connected FT-710 to the laptop with a USB cable, I have not found any guidance on what settings are needed, so tried some options (see screenshot) which give the error: Rig Error: Get Frequency Error, Error Detail: rig_get_freq(2130): vfo_opt=0, model=1049

Help is needed at this point, if there are any suggestions these are much appreciated.

from google:

based on this, you should use Data Bits 8, Stop Bits 2, Baud Rate 38400. Also check the port whether ttyACM0 is CAT port.

Based on this, you can also use FT-991A as a RigModel - without any guarantee of success.

Unfortunately, I don't have the FT-710 therefore I cannot test it.

Thank you for your responses which have helped me to resolve this, I now have a successful connection to the FT-710. My final working settings can be seen in the screenshot below. (I struggled for a bit to find which is the correct port to use, installing flrig helped me with that)
