The rig frontend may be able to emulate RIG_LEVEL_STRENGTH by using
RIG_LEVEL_RAWSTR and an S-meter calibration curve. The netrig client
doesn't know this so it must pass STRENGTH queries regardless if it
knows a RIG_LEVEL_RAWSTR query is allowed. If the server cannot oblige
it will return a -RIG_EINVAL error which should be fine.
From the SourceForge tracker:
I am using version hamlib-1.2.15.2~rc3. Start rigctl and specify rig 2
(rigctld). The command "s" (get_split_vfo) will return two parameters,
the spilt state (0 or 1) and the TX VFO name. The command "S"
(set_split_vfo) will send one parameter, the TX VFO name, but will not
send the split state (0 or 1). This is incorrect. In the file
dummy/netrigctl.c change netrigctl_set_split_vfo() line 782:
len = sprintf(cmd, "S %s\n", rig_strvfo(tx_vfo));
to include the "split" paramater; perhaps:
len = sprintf(cmd, "S %d %s\n", split, rig_strvfo(tx_vfo));
Thanks to Jim, N2ADR for reporting this.
