This is great!

For the first time since I kicked my Microsoft habit last summer, I had the
pleasure of watching my scanner display go blank as my computer took control
over the scanner! :-D

Under rigctl

F - works
f - works
M - works
m - works
_ works

A few little things I noticed.

in opto535.c line 119 - need to add the 50kHz tuning step

in optoscan.com line 128 the error string should be optoscan_get_info not
icom_get_info

Now a question about cell phone freqs.

The opto boards can pick up the cell phone freqs, and that is outlawed in the
US. Of the windows programs I used one let you receive them and another would
sent you a code to turn on the banned freqs (you had to show you were
government or repair related to get the code If I remember). So anyway I know
many of you are not located in the US so I was wondering if you had any ideas
about handling it?

Simple, remove the cell phone holes in rx_range_list1 of the os535
capabilities. rx_range_list1 stands for ITU region 1.
This would give something like 25MHz..520MHz, 760MHz..1.3GHz
And then "rigctl -C itu_region=1" would select it.
Would it be okay?
