[Hamlib-developer] First results with TS-870

[Joop S. <pa...@de...>]

Hi Stephane and others,

Setting the communication parameters to 57600 bps has done the trick!
This is the maximum speed that the rig can handle.
Here are result for reading f (with the frequency set to 21010.01 kHz)
and setting the frequency to 14000.00 kHz.
The frequency is not displayed correctly, even though the received characters
are OK. Also, note the timeout when setting the frequency:

I am interested in setting up some kind of test program for this rig.
