yes, now I just checked the code, and if you start Tlf with "-d",
then a routine is called, which set the freq to 1400000.

yes, Tlf, tries to determine the current used VFO on RIG.

which version are you using?

I'm using this:
address@hidden:~$ rigctl -V
rigctl, Hamlib 3.0~git

here is my output through rigctlD(!):

Opened rig model 209, 'TS-850'
Backend version: 0.8.1, Status: Beta
Connection opened from 127.0.0.1:58289
rigctl(d):  'currVFO' '' '' ''
rigctl(d): v 'currVFO' '' '' ''
kenwood_get_vfo_if called
kenwood_get_if called
kenwood_safe_transaction called
kenwood_transaction called
kenwood_transaction: cmdstr = IF
write_block(): TX 3 bytes

there isn't any timeout.

I get this result through rigctlD and Tlf directly too.

I think in this case the problem is in hamlib code (hamlib handle
the different requests by different codes, there are many
modell-specific function - a few weeks ago I found a bug in TS850
code (it affects some other Kenwood models), so, it can be
easily...)

hmm...

here is my result (rigctl with model 2 through rigctld):

address@hidden:~$ rigctl -m 2 -r localhost 

Rig command: v
VFO: VFOB

Rig command: f
Frequency: 21367000

yes, it's very likely - but that's not Tlf bug. 

I'll try to see the hamlib's code, but I'm not sure I can fix
that. May be you have to try to upgrade the hamlib's code to the
newest version.

So, usually that codes what I help to develop, I'm using that
from source, not from the maintainer's package. I don't know
which hamlib version is in Mint 13, but may be you could try the
hamlib SF's version:

http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net/

Then you need to recompile all of that applications, which uses
hamlib. If that's just one (Tlf), may be that's not too
unpleasant, but if you use other hamlib depend codes, that's not
a good solution...
