Re: [Hamlib-developer] FLRig entry missing

[Uwe, D. <dg...@gm...>]

Hi Nate and all,

Thanks for clarification.

However, I frankly don't think your decision to rename “FLRig” to “W1HKJ 
FLRig” is a good one. The product is called FLRig. That means anyone 
should be able to find it in the rig list in WSJT-X by entering “F”. 
That's no longer possible. I don't think many OMs know that W1HKJ is 
associated with it.

This also means that PSK Reporter equipment is no longer posted as 
“FLRig” but as “W1HKJ FLRig.” In my opinion, this is also not ideal.

Imagine if we did that everywhere. What if "OmniRig" suddenly became 
"VE2NEA OmniRig"? Or “DX Lab Suite Commander” suddenly “AA6YQ DX Lab 
Suite Commander”? That doesn't make much sense. And if that's only done 
at FLRig, it's illogical and inconsistent.

You Hamlib developers have to decide that, but if it were up to me, I 
would say: Change it back to “FLRig” as soon as possible.

73 de DG2YCB,
Uwe
