[Hamlib-developer] FT-991 backend not working

[Walter F. <dl...@t-...>]

Hallo,

The backend for YAESU FT-991 does not work correctly on my system.
openSUSE 13.2, 64 bit with the latest version of hamlib 3.0 from
https://github.com/N0NB/hamlib/commits/master.

rigctl from the command line:
================
dl8fcl@dl8fcl:~> rigctl -m 135 -r /dev/ttyS7
rig_open: error = Feature not available
dl8fcl@dl8fcl:~>
================
When I open the FT-991 as FT-950 I get some answers
================
dl8fcl@dl8fcl:~> rigctl -m 128 -r /dev/ttyS7

Rig command: m
Mode: USB
Passband: 2450

Rig command: q
dl8fcl@dl8fcl:~> rigctl -m 135 -r /dev/ttyS7
rig_open: error = Feature not available
dl8fcl@dl8fcl:~> rigctl -m 128 -r /dev/ttyS7

Rig command: m
Mode: USB
Passband: 2450

Rig command: f
get_freq: error = Invalid parameter

Rig command: q
dl8fcl@dl8fcl:~>
================
The result is the same if I use the RS232 or the USB interface of the 
FT-991.
Controlling the rig with the RigCat function of FLDIGI is possible.
