Setup & Installation

Version History
Add LAN control via wfview rigctld (auto-detect), rigctld connection priority, power on/off via LAN, RIGCTLD_ADDR env var
What This Skill Does
Controls an Icom IC-7610 transceiver over USB or LAN. Reads and sets frequency, mode, and transmit power, and supports CW keying, beacon loops, and remote power on/off. Built-in safety checks enforce amateur band limits, SWR thresholds, and operator confirmation before any RF transmission.
Auto-detects the active connection method (rigctld LAN, flrig XML-RPC, or direct serial) so the same commands work without reconfiguring when switching setups.
When to use it
- Set frequency and mode before a FT8 session on 20m
- Check S-meter and SWR readings during a contest
- Run a timed CW beacon on 10m with configurable repeat interval
- Remotely power the radio on or off from across the house
- Cap transmit power to 5W for a QRP operating session
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Send a 3-repeat CW beacon on 14.055 MHz
- 1Check SWR via rigctl to confirm antenna is within safe limits
- 2Set VFO frequency to 14055000 Hz
- 3Confirm frequency falls within the 20m amateur band segment
- 4Request operator confirmation before keying the transmitter
- 5Send the CW beacon string 3 times with configured interval between repeats
Beacon transmitted 3 times on 14.055 MHz; SWR and band checks passed, operator confirmed
