Hi Josh,

Thank you for the patch, appreciate it.

Good for the calibration data. However, I don't understand why
you removed the LEVEL_AGC/LEVEL_AF/LEVEL_CWPITCH/LEVEL_IF from 
the get_level caps. I agree the radio has no protocol support
to let them be retrieved, however the backend is able to "cache"
(shadow) them. What was your rationale to remove them?

Since you've been doing tests, would you rate the RX320 backend
as RIG_STATUS_STABLE?

You're talking about the JRC NRD-525; have you been able to control it
using Hamlib ? What backend ? What RS232 card ? I've found some protocol
documentation at F4EZC'site.
