[Hamlib-developer] The accuracy of Yaesu documentation

[Georgina J. <ge...@ge...>]

Hello All,

I wondered if anyone had pointed out the the Yaesu information sometimes has some discrepancies. I have noticed that the default baud rate that rigctl expects is not the case. Or I need to specify the rate on load. I believe that 4800 is the default on the FT-818 and the FT-991A. I don't mind having to stating it on the command line. However, trying to navigate the manual suggests to me that such discrepancies exist. For example, for the FT-991A both the antenna sockets are of M type and where with the problems I had with a used 991A where I thought the previous owner had used anATAS antenna. The manual suggested that was set up in menu 143, when it is actually 141. It is a shame that such errors are published and makes it difficult for people like developers. Perhaps, Hamlib does not take it's defaults from such publications.

Anyway, I just thought I would make that observation known.
