RIGCTL-WSJTX(1)

💖 RIGCTL-WSJTX(1) 💖

okay bestie, this is rigctl-wsjtx(1) from the WSJT-X Manual — come sit with me, it's short and honestly kinda iconic ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

rigctl-wsjtx — the Hamlib 4 rigctld server, but make it WSJT-X flavored 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

rigctl-wsjtx [OPTIONS]

no cap, that's the whole thing. just options. go off ✨

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the tea 🍓: wsjtx uses its own version of the hamlib CAT control library. that library is virtually identical to the current release version of hamlib — like, same energy, basically twins 👯

and the way this matters is: if you're a wsjtx user and you wanna use the hamlib network rig server rigctld to remotely control your transceiver, then you gotta use this special version of the rigctl client instead of the regular one. why?? because this one also has the modified hamlib code embedded right into it 🫶. it's giving bespoke. it's giving purpose-built. periodt.
