[Hamlib-developer] FT857 and FT897 functionality merge.

[Kamil Z. <kam...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have FT857D and when I was exploring implemented options I have found
that there is a disparity between FT857 and FT897 but those radios are
identical in terms of functionality.

I am would like to improve the code and provide a patch, I have 2 questions:

- Should I aim keep the rigs implementations completely separate, or to for
example rewrite FT857D interface to call matching functions from FT897D.
- How to properly submit a patch? Is just posting this list a standard git
patch (generated by git format-patch origin) to this list suitable?

Many thanks in advance for your reply.
