Hi Chuck,

First of all, Thanks for your interrest in Hamlib.
We do appreciate feedback!

Dang, the icr8500 was the only one missing these lines. Thanks Francois
for noticing it. This is commited with an initial ic-r7000 support.
Some functions may not be there, I have yet to dig through the manual to
see which one are available.

Chuck, could you confirm this is 0x08 for the R-7000?

Besides icr8500, is there any other?

Alright Francois, good stuff. I've forked an AR5000, should be commited by
the time your read this. Please note that the aor backend has never been
fully tested, so your report is more than welcome.
In order to ease Hamlib hacking, there are some guidelines to test the cvs
version, available at the following URL:
