[Hamlib-developer] Question about using preprogrammed memory channels with rigctl

[Richard E. <DO...@ho...>]

Dear Hamlib community,

As some of you may know, I am blind and currently working on an accessible solution to operate transceivers. For example, I am using an Icom 706mkIIg, which unfortunately does not allow setting CTCSS tones via the CAT interface.

To still be able to work through repeaters, I would like to use memory channels that my sighted wife has preprogrammed into the radio, including the appropriate CTCSS tones and other settings.

My question is: What is the correct syntax in rigctl to switch between these memory channels? Additionally, is it possible to retrieve metadata about the currently selected channel—such as frequency, mode, or other parameters—or do I need to query each of these values separately?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Best regards and 73,
