Re: [Hamlib-developer] Problem with IC-9100

[Marc H. - V. <vk...@wi...>]

I am not a programmer, but I do have an IC-9100. Is there any standard test
harness I can run to give diagnostic information to the original developer? 

The no_xchg=1 bit is working. Without it both Rx and Tx glitch because of
continuous swapping. It looks to me like it's very close to working. I can
provide the diagnostics (CI-V exchanges) from rigctld if that helps.

I guess my questions are:
1. Who was the original developer?
2. Is he interested in raising this from Untested to Alpha?
3. Can I, and my IC-9100, help in any way?

If the IC-9100 doesn't work, which appears to be the case, I will have to
ditch Gpredict, which would be a great shame as it's a great app.

Hi Nate & Marc,

I put the no_xchg config parameter in a while back to allow an alternative
way of setting the split TX frequency without glitching the Rx. It is used
by WSJT-X but other software may find it useful.

As for the IC-9100 SAT mode I don't have much to add, SAT mode on the
IC910 and IC9100 is very different from other Icom CAT philosophy and not
straight forward to control. Our project has no need for it. It is possible
it simply doesn't work correctly yet.
