At his point you should probably read your rig's manual, to see how you
should hook up your rig to the serial port. For my kenwood rig, I need
a standard serial cable with two 9-pin connectors. You also need write
permission to the serial port. On my system, this means I need to add
myself to the dialout group, with a command like:

<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
$ adduser 'username' dialout

</BLOCKQUOTE> 

<P>
Next, you can test hamlib with rigctl, a binary distributed with hamlib.
See which rigs are supported:

<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
$ rigctl -list

</BLOCKQUOTE> 

<P>
Then start rigctl with your model number, e.g. '210' for a kenwood TS-870S,
hooked up to COM2:

<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
$ rigctl -r /dev/ttyS1 -m 210

</BLOCKQUOTE> 

<P>
Now you can check out if mode, PTT, frequency, signal strength and power
(all used by xlog) are retrieved. At the 'Rig command:' prompt, type:

<P><DL>
<DT><STRONG>f</STRONG></DT>
<DD>: retrieve frequency
</DD>
<DT><STRONG>m</STRONG></DT>
<DD>: retrieve mode
</DD>
<DT><STRONG>t</STRONG></DT>
<DD>: retrieve PTT (TX/RX mode)
</DD>
<DT><STRONG>l</STRONG></DT>
<DD>and 'STRENGTH': retrieve signal strength (-54=S0 and 0=S9)
</DD>
<DT><STRONG>l</STRONG></DT>
<DD>and 'RFPOWER': retrieve rig power (0.39 = 100 Watts)
</DD>
</DL> 

<P>
The hamlib FAQ at <TT><A NAME="tex2html7"
  HREF="http://hamlib.sf.net/faq.html">http://hamlib.sf.net/faq.html</A></TT> gives some answers
to common problems. You could also ask around on the hamlib mailing list, see:
