Hi Nate,

thanks for testing that. It is a problem with the existing 
kenwood_set_trn() function and I see another elsewhere :( I will send a 
patch soon.

Related to this, it occurs to me that there needs to be a way of using 
rigctl to turn on/off AI mode. Obviously with the new restore 
functionality that cannot be done. I can see a "Hamlib" way of doing it 
but it requires a new config token and quite a few code changes to make 
it work for all the rigs that support AI mode. I wondered if, for this 
special case, it might be simpler to use an environment variable to 
disable the AI state restore facility. Something like:

    HAMLIB_NO_AI_RESTORE=1 rigctl <options> A ON

Comments?
