Kenwood, modern Yaesu rigs and many SDRs use an auto information
mechanism that broadcasts unsolicited rig state changes, Hamlib does
not support this and turns off the function. Because several passive
devices rely on this information to detect band changes for example
this change adds code to save the AI state on start up and restores it
on exit. These devices do no need the broadcasts since when an
application using Hamlib is running as necessary state polling by the
application provides continuous rig state updates.
Among the changes:
I finally had the time to build the CAT interface for my TS450 and
discovered a couple of new commands.
MX; MX0; MX1; is used to activate the AIP function
FL; FLXXXYYY; is used to set the filters.
I made a perl script to try every possible two-letters command. If
amyone is interested, at their own risk, just ask.
I've then modified and optimized the kenwood driver:
- moved MD_ defined to .h
- added init/cleanup
- ts450_get_mode -> kenwood_get_mode_if
- support reading memory channel freq within kenwood_get_freq
- added kenwood_safe_transaction as an helper with result len check
- added kenwood_get_if
- added get_level for RIG_LEVEL_CWPITCH
- set/get for RIG_FUNC_AIP
- replaced ts140/680 get_mode and get_freq
- removed the delay on the ts450. it works just fine without it.
=============================
the attached patch requires the first one I sent and
addresses a few remaining issues
- converted 8 spaces to tabs
- added kenwood_mode_table
- added kenwood_simple_transaction helper func
- use kenwood2rmode and rmode2kenwood where possible
- some code cleanup
- use kenwood_safe/simple_transaction where possible
- added kenwood_get_mem_if (ts140,ts450,ts680,ts690,ts850)
- added kenwood_get_channel (ts450,ts850)
- added FUNC_FINE_STEP (commented out, we have no more func slots)
- added LEVEL_CWPITCH (set)
- no reason to have ts850_set_func, ts850_set_level
- ... ts480_get/set_ant, ts480_set_func
- ... ts570_set/get_ant, ts570_get_channel, ts570_get_rit
- ... ts680_set_func
- ... ts790_get_mode, ts790_get_vfo
this patch is a bit more extensive and tested only on the TS450.
feedback will be appreciated.
where I removed code I took care to verify that the generic
code in kenwood.c worked in the same way.

* Flexible rmode_t conversion
* Made th_get_channel/th_set_channel more generic, esp. to work with TH-F7E
* Major TH-F7E improvements
