Hello ! On 4rth of current October 2025, I launched my JS8Call & confronted by the following error message from program: Hamlib error: icom.c(2812):icom_get_mode_without_data returning2(-9) Command rejected by the rig icom.c(2951):icom_get_mode returning2(-9) Command rejected by the rig rig_get_mode: retcode after get_mode=-9 rig_get_mode(3063): freqMainA=14078000, modeMainA=, widthMainA=0 rig_get_mode(3063): freqMainB=0, modeMainB=, widthMainB=0 **2:cache.c(40):rig_set_cache_mode entered rig_set_cache_mode(42): freqMainA=14078000, modeMainA=, widthMainA=0 rig_set_cache_mode(42): freqMainB=0, modeMainB=, widthMainB=0 rig_set_cache_mode(155): freqMainA=14078000, modeMainA=, widthMainA=0 rig_set_cache_mode(155): freqMainB=0, modeMainB=, widthMainB=0 **2:cache.c(156):rig_set_cache_mode returning(0) rig_get_mode(3118): freqMainA=14078000, modeMainA=, widthMainA=0 rig_get_mode(3118): freqMainB=0, modeMainB=, widthMainB=0 rig_lock: client lock disengaged *1:rig_get_mode: elapsed=18ms *1:rig.c(3122):rig_get_mode returning(-9) Command rejected by the rig Command rejected by the rig while getting current mode I did not changed any thing from my side at all in the setting of program ! I reviewed previous setting but I never found any thing changed ! Every thing in program setting as it ! Also, I did not change any thing in setting of my STN ICOM-7100 regarding digital modes ! All what I remember is that I received before weeks a new update for HAMlib ! My system info: - Fedora Linux version 42 X 64 bit, - JS8Call version 2.2.0-devel from official Fedora repositories, - Hamlib version 4.6.5 from official Fedora repositories. Any help is appreciated ! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.launch JS8Call Actual Results: Program will launched with error message given above which showing that it is no further detect or communicate with my RIG (ICOM7100). I can not decode nor send JS8 at all ! Expected Results: It should launched normally without error message & detect my ICOM7100 & communicate with it & control it as before. I should be able to decode & send JS8 as before Additional Information: 1) I'm using USB connection between my laptop & my ICOM7100 via USB version 2.0 as I'm already doing with all digital mode programs. 2) there are other digital modes programs installed on my system which are: FlDigi (Fedora official repository), FreeDV (AppImage) all are working very well & recognizing my Rig & it's card sound & have no any problem !
I can't promise when it will be done but somehow I missed that the project moved to Github and has had a new release. Working on it now.

The bug is still existing with same error message ! I tested new version 2.3.1 just some minutes ago ! The program is unable to recognize sound card of rig ! See attached screenshot.
Created attachment 2110608 [details] Error message from version 2.3.1
I checked all parameters that should entered for program to be able to communicate with rig & all were okay ! So, why this error ? I think it is HAMlib related. But, other program like FreeDV (AppImage) & FlDigi (official Fedora repositories package) that using new version of HAMlib are working okay on my system !

No ! It is not fixed ! You blocked me from test your new build because you did not push it for Fedora 42 ! You pushed it to Fedora 43 only ! My system is Fedora 42 ! For that, I removed JS8Call from my system & installed last version from author repository as AppImage & run AppImage official version & same error happened ! It seem that it is an upstream bug ! For that I opened a bug file on their official GitHub site - look for: https://github.com/js8call/js8call/issues/93 I will re-open this issue here & you can check it & re-closed it again if you find my analyses for the problem as an up stream issue is correct. Regards. YI1YJK 73
I was not able to reproduce the error with my Yaesu FT-991A. Hopefully upstream will have some insights.
Hello ! This is not due to bug in JS8Call, but due to old frimware on my IC-7100 ! Sorry, I forgot to mention this here ! Look for this: https://github.com/JS8Call-improved/JS8Call-improved/issues/91 My user name on GitHub is Nokia808 However, please update version of JS8Call. Now, I'm on Fedora 43 & still Fedora package out of the date ! Up to date version now is 2.5.1 The official repository of JS8Call is expired & original author more into new repository shown in above link.
