I still have to code in kenwood_set_func...

okay, commited. see below.

NB: part of the protocol documentation I have comes from the TS2000 manual.
    There may be some differences between rig models..

Not exactly.  There's a RIG_FUNC_FAGC, and a RIG_LEVEL_AGC.
This is because some rigs only have on/off FAGC, and some others have
different levels (e.g. fast/medium/slow), or even AGC delay settable in
milliseconds.
I'm wondering if GT0 on the TS870S is for FAGC disabled.

yep, I noticed you have automake-1.4-p4, and Hamlib requires automake-1.5
at least.


Thanks for the patch and report!
