Many thanks, Pierfrancesco,

In looking (too) quickly at the rigctld man page, it looks like I need 
to start it with the sorts of options that get put into the hamlib 
fields in, say Xlog. Would I still need to enter options there as well? 
Or does Xlog automatically work if a properly configured rgctld is running?

With best regards,

Pete
