Virtual com ports providing a TS-2000 Emulator
Example connecting N1MM or such to FLRig via COM5/COM6 virtual COM pair
rigctlcom -m 4 -R COM5 -S 115200
N1MM connects to COM6 TS-2000 115200 8N1
Some Icom rigs use USB for the CI-V connection. This can be set to echo or not. This mod permits a check of the echo state on start-up & flags the frame handling accordingly.
A new member of the icom_priv_caps is defined to flag that this check should be done. A new icom_rig_open function performs this check & sets a flag in priv_data which frame.c then uses to process the input accordingly.
By including the stdint SWIG typemaps we can directly use types
derived from [u]int64_t etc.
Because Lua numbers are implemented using a double-precision floating
point type and also because SWIG when generating a Lua wrappings can
only define constants from #define and enum values that fit into an
'int' type we must hide any constants that require more than 32-bits
to represent themselves, as they cannot be represented in Lua. This
applies to rmode_t and the RIG_FUNC... defines at the time of
writing. By hiding them from the Lua binding they will get a 'nil'
value in Lua i.e. undefined so clients using the Lua binding will know
they are not there. This is a nasty hack but without major design
changes to the Hamlib API it is do this or drop the Lua binding.
* 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

So here is the first release of the new IC-R8600 rig backend.
Implemented functions so far:
set/get freq
set/get mode
functions: NB TSQL ANF NR AIP MN LOCK VSC RESUME
level: PREAMP ATT AF RF SQL NR PBT_IN PBT_OUT CWPITCH AGC RAWSTR STRENGTH
extra levels (params): ANN BACKLIGHT KEYLIGHT
Mode list: AM CW USB LSB RTTY FM WFM CWR RTTYR SAM SAL SAH
Next up:
* correct filter settings
* new digital modes
* memory store/retrieve
* correct CTCSS, DTCS handling
* correct BEEP handling (broken)

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.
