Hi Chuck,
You've posted to hamlib-cvs, which is merely a mailing list where
only the cvs robot posts check in reports. hamlib-developer is for

Great! Another missing rig that'll be supported and tested!
BTW, what sources are you using for your hacking? Is it
official hamlib-1.1.2 or the latest cvs checkout?
If you'd like to, you can send me your current patch of icom/ic718.c, and
I'll commit that for you. Then, it'll be easier to test and report.

hmmm, you'd better use rigctl for testing your backend, it's much more
flexible. Have you read the README.betatester ? The link is here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/hamlib/hamlib/README.betatester?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
The "-vvvvv" option to rigctl will give also CI-V traces, quite helpful.
Concerning your problem, I not sure if RIG_LEVEL_RFPOWER has ever been
tested... Traces needed I would say.
