X-108 Info Digital mode x-108G - short summary

I think I am having exactly the same issue.

I am using Linux and wsjtx, if I try using ptt via cat the radio flicks to transmit and then back to receive, wsjtx still thinks it's transmitting I then sometimes get rig error.

I also notice a power spike on the display when this happens.

If I set the mode to CW it works fine. I am using the accessory port for ptt for now.

 

Also the X108G in ham lib has not been touched since Feb 14, 2017

The comment is interesting in Hamlib/x108g.c at master · Hamlib/Hamlib · GitHub

* Hamlib CI-V backend - description of Xeigu X108G and variations
* Adapted from IC-7000 code 2017 by Michael Black W9MDB
* As of this date there is no CAT manual for this rig
* The X108G is supposed to emulate the IC-7000 but there are a few
* differences as of 2017-02-11 in the return data from the rig
* It's quite possible they may fix all these eventually
* If they do the functions below can go back to the icom routines
* #1 the response to PTT
* #2 the inability to set_dsp_mode
* #3 setting splie which impacts 3 routines

 

Thank you for the information and files here. I am trying to go digital for the first time, and this has been a lot of fun... There is a lot of information here, and I'll be sure to post if I was able to get her going.

 

So, I have had no luck. still getting the same error message. Cannot connect the radio to the computer. I am also trying through the signalink to no avail. I cannot make heads or tails of why it won't work.
