I've been unable to get pyfldigi to read the current frequency from FLRIG.  Does anyone have a sample program in python/C/C++/pearl/Fortran/Cobol that does this?  The objective is to automate my antenna switch to select the best antenna for the current frequency.  I don't want to be sending 10 meter output into a 20/40 fan dipole by mistake.  Or even 2m/70cm into a long wire.

This is going to be on a Raspberry Pi 4 if that makes a difference.  I get "connection refused" with the tests/test_client.py sample program in the pyFldigi distribution and python3.

Thanks - Ed KD2EIP

Hamlib has a layer that integrates with Flrig.  Perhaps this will be of help:

Perfect!  I've been using C for years but I'm just beginning to learn Python.

Thank you very much!

So who really needs to program with this around (part of hamlib)?  Rigctl works fine:

/usr/local/bin/rigctl -m4 f

Returns the current frequency in Hz.  A simple shell script will do everything that I need.  Thanks again!!!
