[Hamlib-developer] FRG100 and Hamlib

[Paul W. <Pau...@te...>]

I note that the FRG100 is listed as untested.  I am using Hamlib as =
supplied with Dream v1.1.1 (running on Windows XP) and have noticed that =
it doesn't appear to work too well.  The issues I see are

a)    Dream doesn't appear to pick up the frequency from the rig =
correctly.
b)    If I use the 1kHz buttons to increment the frequency, it goes up =
by 100kHz.  If I use the 10kHz buttons, the frequency goes up by 1MHz, =
wrapping at 9MHz back to zero.  If I use the 100kHz buttons, it goes up =
by 1kHz. =20
c)    Dream is polling the S-meter although I am not certain it is =
really following what the real S-meter is doing.
d)    If I use Dream to select a station, a totally wrong frequency is =
set
        Examples    Dream        Rig
                           3995           9539.00
                            15435        3554.01
                            6095           9560.00
                            5990            9059.00

A little further fault finding.  If I use Dream with my Elecraft K2 - it =
correctly sets the rig frequency.  If I use an alternative programme =
with the FRG100 (Radio Listeners Database by Fineware), it works =
correctly.

I don't know if this is much help.  Unfortunately I don't have easy =
access to compilers etc so I can't directly try some of the test =
programmes/recompile the source code.  If you want me to try out new =
builds, please ask.
