Commands passed to rigctld
I would like to use rigctld in combination with VarAC. Unfortunately whenever the frequency is switched the bandwidth is also changed to the smallest filter available. Running rigctld in verbose mode shows that rigctld receives three commands - Frequency - Mode - Bandwidth The log shows that the filter bandwidth should be set to 0 which results in selecting the smallest filter (250 Hz) available. This effect does not show up if VarAC is configured using CAT rather than Hamlib. I wonder whether this is a problem with VarAC or with rigctld.

First of all: Happy to have found this group. "Resources" link on VarAC homepage still points to forum which is now closed. Am having the same problem with rigctld. Wanted BW is 600Hz, PKTUSB default BW for my K4 TRX is 2.0kHz. Some band changes are setting BW to 2.0kHz, then quickly return to 600Hz. But too often, BW remains stuck at 2.0kHz 😞 Same holds for slot sniffer when calling CQ. Markus HB9BRJ
