I figured it out! You send the command SC; (no arguments) and it gives you a scanning state. :D

So I have a #Yaesu #FT991a that I'm using with #rigctl , but I can't figure out how to get whether or not it's scanning. Anyone have any ideas? :/

Hamlib 4.6 was released 2 weeks ago and has a breaking change that will break anything trying to compile it in, except for #fldigi whose author has already committed a fix. This breaking change has been reverted in the upcoming 4.6.1 so it might be a good idea to stick with 4.5.5 until then. #rigctl #ham

So I got an #RTSystems USB-63 cable from #DXEngineering and I've just run "./usbPortCheckerThingy.sh" in one shell window before plugging it in, and again in an adjacent shell window after, so I could see what to change in the #CQRLOG settings for #rigctl.

THE HOPE is that rigctl will use one cable, flrig will use the other, and they will peacefully coexist.

The shell script:
kelvind@kelvind-Macmini:~$ cat usbPortCheckerThingy.sh 
#!/usr/bin/bash
for sysdevpath in $(find /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/ -name dev); do
(
syspath="${sysdevpath%/dev}"
devname="$(udevadm info -q name -p $syspath)"
[[ "$devname" == "bus/"* ]] 
eval "$(udevadm info -q property --export -p $syspath)"
[[ -z "$ID_SERIAL" ]] 
echo "/dev/$devname - $ID_SERIAL"
)
done

Screenshot... on the left, the list of USB things that Linux is aware of before plugging in the cable. In the middle, the list after plugging in the cable. On the right, the subsequent settings in CQRLOG Preferences.

Trying to set up Pat #Winlink on #macos. So far, no luck running #ARDOP and getting #rigctl to see my radio. I am tempted to give up and try again on the Pi tomorrow
