[Hamlib-developer] rig-multicast?

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

Hi Nate and all,

What actually became of Mike's approach to making a 
rig-multicast-capable Hamlib version? Was that lost with Mike's passing, 
or could something like that still become a reality someday? If I 
remember correctly, reading already worked, but writing (and thus 
synchronization) did not yet.

I ask this because one of Hamlib's major weaknesses is that only one rig 
can be connected to a COM port at a time. If, for example, someone runs 
Log4OM next to WSJT-X, Hamlib is automatically ruled out for many OMs. 
The same applies if I want to connect multiple WSJT-X (Improved) 
instances to one rig. That's why I really welcomed Mike's approach at 
the time, even though I considered it somewhat ambitious. Unfortunately, 
I can't help you much with the implementation myself, but I would of 
course be available for any alpha tests.

73 de DG2YCB,
Uwe
