Silver Shadow External Apps Hub - Hamlib NET rigctl
Connect Hamlib NET rigctl-compatible radio software to Silver Shadow without giving up Silver Shadow’s ownership of the physical Icom COM/CI-V connection.
LOCALHOST 127.0.0.1:4532 • TX BLOCKED BY DEFAULTHow it works
The Hub listens locally on 127.0.0.1:4532. External applications read radio state through Silver Shadow and supported write commands are routed back through Silver Shadow’s internal control paths.
Compatible software
Designed for programs that support Hamlib NET rigctl / rigctld, including WSJT-X, JTDX, JS8Call, fldigi and CQRLOG. WSJT-X and JTDX CAT were physically tested through Silver Shadow on an IC-7300.
TX safety
External CAT-PTT/TX is blocked by default. The operator must explicitly allow external TX. The Hub also tracks client/command status for diagnostics.
Something not working?
Mail us the program name, version and the exact error message. If a Hamlib NET rigctl-compatible application exposes a protocol difference, we can investigate and harden the Hub.
Nederlandse samenvatting
Externe software koppelt lokaal via Hamlib NET rigctl aan Silver Shadow. Silver Shadow houdt zelf de fysieke Icom-verbinding. Werkt een programma niet goed, mail programmanaam, versie en foutmelding; dan zoeken we de incompatibiliteit uit.
