I am trying to get rigctld to not only connect and set the frequency but also to put the radio in usb-d mode. My command is rigctld -m 3073 -r COM6. This controls PTT and freq but does not put the rig in usb digital mode. Can anyone help? Thanks danny
Try adding the folllowing to that command line:
set_mode PKTUSB 0
That does the trick on my Icom IC-7100, anyway.

Oh, I should add that command (below) is for USB-D in HF on my 7100. If I want to use VARA FM and put it into FM-D mode, I use:
set_mode FM-D 0
Thank you. I will give these a try. Appreciate your time.
Thank you again for the help. I’ve got it working now. I appreciate your help. It doesn’t work with the 5100 u fortunately it doesn’t have FM Data mode. Just FM narrow FM and D star. I have a homebrew setup that connect the computer sound card to the mic input and speaker output but as of yet haven’t gotten vara FM connection yet as I am too far from the other stations.
Best.
