* Change magic numbers in icom_set|get_ctcss|dcs_sql|code functions to
constants defined in src/tones.h
* fix a minor bug in icom_get_dcs_code (now ignoring polarity instead of
reporting invalid DCS code when sending reverse pol. DCS code)
* introduce DCS codes to IC-R8600 rig backend

I have an potential initial release of a backend for iOptron alt-az mounts.
I have tested it and it appears to work well both from the command line and
driven by Gpredict with my iEQ45Pro. I ran the source through astyle and I
think that it's OK. Compiling and testing was done under Unbuntu 18.

On Debian Buster gcc ((Debian 8.2.0-8) 8.2.0) was throwing the following
warning:
CC network.lo
../../hamlib/src/network.c: In function ‘network_open’:
../../hamlib/src/network.c:245:46: warning: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing up to 511 bytes into a region of size 139 [-Wformat-truncation=]
snprintf(msg,sizeof(msg),"connect to %s failed, (trying next interface)",rp->pathname);
^~
../../hamlib/src/network.c:245:9: note: ‘snprintf’ output between 44 and 555 bytes into a destination of size 150
snprintf(msg,sizeof(msg),"connect to %s failed, (trying next interface)",rp->pathname);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raising the size of the msg buffer to 1024 quelled the warning.
* Added new rotor module (18) for Meade telescope rotors
* Implemented all needed rotor functions
* Added README.md
* Tested with DS-2000 Rotor with Autostar 494 and 506 serial cable
* Tested on Linux (Debian) with rotctl and gpredict
I tried to control my "FUNcube Dongle Pro" SDR with Hamlib. At first it
worked fine, but when I tried to correct the frequency divergence with
the vfo_comp parameter, I found a bug in the software.
Example:
$ ./rigctl -m 2513 -C vfo_comp=0.01
Rig command: F 100000000
Rig command: f
Frequency: 102010000
The correction must toke place when setting the frequency and when it
is read back. But one time the correction must work in on direction,
the other time quite opposite.
I found the code in the file rig.c and could see, that both times the
same calculation is used.
The simplest way to correct this is to go to the “rig_get_freq(“
subroutine and change it in the line 1188 from “+=” to “-=” , even that
is mathematically not correct.
Result:
$ ./rigctl -m 2513 -C vfo_comp=0.01
Rig command: F 100000000
Rig command: f
Frequency: 99990000
$ ./rigctl -m 2513 -C vfo_comp=0.000022
Rig command: F 100000000
Rig command: f
Frequency: 99999999
You can see, that the result is quite good for small divergences of
some ppm, but there is still an error for bigger divergences. So I
changed the line 1188 to the form I hope it is the mathematically
correct one:
*freq = (freq_t)(*freq/(1.0+(double)rig->state.vfo_comp));
Result:
$ ./rigctl -m 2513 -C vfo_comp=0.01
Rig command: F 100000000
Rig command: f
Frequency: 100000000
$ ./rigctl -m 2513 -C vfo_comp=0.000022
Rig command: F 100000000
Rig command: f
Frequency: 100000000
Now the result looks good for small and for bigger divergences.

Hi,
I had trouble with CTS serial port squelch (on microHAM USB Interface III).
It seems there is a bug in the hamlib code and I think the similar thing
should be done as has been done for the pttport, i.e. if the dcdport is
the same as the rigport, do not reopen it. Otherwise the serial port will
be reset to its default and it will key the radio PTT forever (because
the RTS line is reset on the port reopen). Patch attached

This flag can be used by back ends that need to take special action
while the rig is transmitting e.g. the FT-747GX and similar that do
not process CAT commands while transmitting.
The flag is also used as a default answer to rig_get_ptt if nothing
better is available.
Deal with inaccurate CAT query for Rx/Tx on the Yaesu FT-847
This rig doesn't set the Rx/Tx status flag when PTT is asserted via
the PTT pin on the rear PACKET socket so we need to override which we
can do if we known we have asserted PTT via rig_set_ptt().
Adjust style and fix set PTT defects
Fix a warning from a declaration of a deleted function definition
When the PTT serial port is not the control port the intention is to
free the port when PTT is reset so that other applications can share
it. This logic was faulty with attempts to call port functions on an
unopened port when repeatedly calling the rig_set_ptt API.
Thanks to Christoph van Wullen, DL1YCF, for finding and analyzing this
defect.
