Well, to be more exact rig_set_passband isn't any more, and rig_set_mode
evolved into a combined function:

int rig_set_mode(RIG *rig, vfo_t vfo, rmode_t mode, pbwidth_t width);


Anyway, it looks like we still lack some "modes".
 * How would you set Synchronous AM (detection only), aka S-AM ?
 * How would you set reverse sideband modes, like CW-R and RTTY-R ?

To my mind, these modes belong to rig_set_mode. However, I'm wondering
if we should create new RIG_MODEs or not.
Ideas anyone?
