Re: [Hamlib-developer] What am I missing?

[Nate B. <n0...@n0...>]

Just had a short discussion off list and looking at the history,
rig_model_t was originally an int.  I was reminded on some
implementations that int can be 16 bits and being signed can only hold a
positive value up to 32768.  Looked at in this way, raising the max
model numbers to 1000 limited Hamlib to 32 backends.  Mike resolved this
by changing rig_model_t (there's a joke in there somewhere) to uint32_t.

As I noted, at this time there are plenty of available models and
backends.  As I am updating comments in the various files to improve
documentation, I feel comfortable removing Mike's comments of concern in
riglist.h.

73, Nate
