Hi,


Diffs are welcome, but come join us as a developer :-)
Just sign up at sourceforge.

Somewhere along our API trail, we thought about
splitting mode and bandwidth .

ie: avoid things like AMN,AMW, etc.

We have left the basic mode types, and introduced
bandwidth parameters.

So if you wanted AMN, then you would use the
fronteneds API rig_set_mode to set AM, and then set the
bandwidth with rig_set_passband .

enum passband_width_e {
	RIG_PASSBAND_NORMAL = 0,
	RIG_PASSBAND_NARROW,
	RIG_PASSBAND_WIDE
};

typedef enum passband_width_e pbwidth_t;


eg:

rig_set_mode(RIG *rig, rmode_t mode); /* select mode */
rig_set_passband(RIG *rig, pbwidth_t width); /* select width */
