Re: [Hamlib-developer] How to get/set TX Power

[van W. <van...@Ch...>]

in hamlib this is two steps:

- use rig_mW2power() to convert a power (in milli-Watts) to "some internal unit"

- use rig_set_level to set the power

sample code (int pow is the input), note the "conversion" is frequency-dependent
but for most rigs it is OK to take the conversion in the 20m band

    value_t val;
    unsigned int mwpower;
    freq_t freq;
    float fpow;


        fpow=pow;
        mwpower=1000*pow;
        freq=kHz(14000);
        rig_mW2power(rig, &fpow, mwpower, freq, RIG_MODE_CW);
        val.f=fpow;
        rig_set_level(rig, RIG_VFO_CURR, RIG_LEVEL_RFPOWER, val);


And, do not use AM but FM.
