201    ----- TESTING HAMLIB -----
202    At his point you should probably read your rig's manual, to see how you
203    should hook up your rig to the serial port. For my kenwood rig, I need
204    a standard serial cable with two 9-pin connectors. You also need write
205    permission to the serial port. On my system, this means I need to add
206    myself to the dialout group, with a command like:
207    
208            adduser 'username' dialout
209    
210    Next, you can test hamlib with rigctl, a binary distributed with hamlib.
211    See which rigs are supported:
212    
213            rigctl --list
214    
215    Then start rigctl with your model number, e.g. '210' for a kenwood TS-870S,
216    hooked up to COM2:
217    
218            rigctl -r /dev/ttyS1 -m 210
219    
220    Now you can check out if mode, PTT, frequency, signal strength and power
221    (all used by xlog) are retrieved. At the 'Rig command:' prompt, type:
222    
223            'f': retrieve frequency
224            'm': retrieve mode
225            't': retrieve PTT (TX/RX mode)
226            'l' and then 'STRENGTH': retrieve signal strength (-54=S0 and 0=S9)
227            'l' and then 'RFPOWER': retrieve rig power (0.39 = 100 Watts)
228    
229    The hamlib FAQ at http://hamlib.sf.net/faq.html gives some answers to common
230    problems. You could also ask around on the hamlib mailing list, see:
231    http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hamlib-developer.

264  ----- SEE ALSO -----  ----- FONTS AND THEMING -----
265  The provided README for more information in setting up hamlib and the FAQ for a  Xlog fonts are handled by the GTK theme engine. When you use the gnome2 desktop,
266  list of frequently asked questions.  start up gnome-font-properties. Otherwise, edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and add a line
267    like:
268    
269            gtk-font-name = "Times New Roman 14"
270    
271    Or whatever. GNOME 2 applies its own settings to GTK2 programs with the
272    gnome-settings-daemon. When the daemon is running, GTK2 programs will use the
273    GNOME settings instead of those present in .gtkrc-2.0.
274    
275    There is also an application called gtk-theme-switch2, which you can use to
276    adjust both appearance and font, whether you use gnome or not.
