* 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
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
Add driver for SPID MD-01 and MD-02 in ROT2 mode. The MD-01 and MD-02
extend the command set from the original ROT2PROG and deviate slightly
from the original protocol on the set_position command.
This change allows the set_mode functions to leave the rig passband
unchanged if required. For the few rigs that do not have explcit
passband width control either current state is read and rewritten or a
"normal" width is chosen e.g. select a normal width when there is a
choice like CW and CW-NARROW.
CAT protocols that don't allow direct addressing of VFOs require that
the "other" VFO be queried or set via a select then get/set then
select back to original or swap then get/set then swap again. When
both frequncy and mode need to be set the sequences can be optimized
if a single funciton is avaiable.
This enhancement adds those single functions rig_set_split_freq_mode()
and rig_get_split_freq_mode() with a default impelementation that
calls the individual rig_{get,set}_split_{freq,mode}() functions. Back
ends can choose to implement an optimized version which is used
instead of the default if present.
Using these functions when an optimized implementation is available
allows the TX VFO's frequency and mode to be set in a single operation
with only one VFO exchange or selection either side of the
operation. Many CAT protocols are very efficient when getting or
setting both frequency and mode and some even combine the two in a
single command.
The letters 'K' and 'k' are used for the rigctl short command name for
these functions.
As Hamlib now restores the rig auto information state (AI) on exit
there is now a need to disable that functionality so that rigctl can
be used to set/reset AI mode on the rig explicitly.
A new public API function 'rig_no_restore_ai()' is also added that
allows any client to disable this auto AI restore functionality if
required. Most clients should do nothing as restoring AI state is a
good thing.
All,
attached is a git patch for adding the Yaesu FT-DX1200 radio to the yaesu
backend as model 134. I am humbly asking for this to be included in
hamlib.
I've tested this using a 1200 radio, using both rigctl and cqrlog. The
ft-dx1200 cat commands are a mix of ft-950 and ft-2000 radio commands, so
neither of those models will work correctly with the 1200. It was tested
and build against the master branch from github on 4/3/2015, on an Ubuntu
14.04 server.
Let me know if you have any questions.
thanks

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] adding yaesu ft-dx1200 model to yaesu backend
This rig is largely similar to the TS-590S but for some reason Kenwood
have changed most the EX command ids. Even though hamlib makes little
use of the EX command, it probably will need to for future
functionality implemenattion. Hence the new rig id.
