I've been writing a satellite track program and using hamlib for doing the frequency setting and doppler correction for the radios. In doing this I've run across a few things with hamlib that I was wondering about: 1. I've been using an Icom R7000 receiver for testing. It's a fairly simple radio to computer control because it allows the computer to control so few things. :) It was not supported yet so I quickly copied and modified the entry for the icr8500. It works for set_freq and get_freq, but I haven't tested it for anything else. Either I'll look into it further and clean it up, or if someone who understands the structures better wants to do something, I'll be happy to test it. Also, I ran across a pdf file that explained CI-V for the older radios: http://www.chasque.net/franky/ci5.pdf 2. In my testing of the ic-r7000, I noticed that the radios using the new icom routines didn't support setting the CI-V address. I was using this to play with the ic-r7000 with rigctl to talk to the ic-r7000 before I created the entry for it. Just wondering if anyone noticed. If I get a chance, I'll try to figure out what needs to be done and send in a patch. 3. One of these days I was going to try testing my software over at a friend's house who has an Icom 910 and an AOR 5000 which are also not currently supported. If anyone wants me to try something, I'll be happy to. Otherwise I'll have to try to come up with descriptions of the radios myself. |
