[Hamlib-developer] Icom RIG_LEVEL_STRENGTH

[Michael B. <mdb...@gm...>]

I notice that most all the icom rigs have str_cal defined.
But...in icom.c RIG_LEVEL_STRENGTH does not use them at all and just falls
through to RAWSTR.

Is there any particular reason for this?  Should there be an effort
hamlib-wide to standardize the STRENGTH value?  Put in in dB for
example...some put it in S-units.  It's quite inconsistent.  I imagine part
of the problem is no doubt rig calibration so another idea would be to
create a new function which could read in a calibration table from an
external source.

Thoughts?
