[Hamlib-developer] IC-7000?

[Roeland T. J. <ro...@li...>]

hi all,


thanks for the marvelous hamlib stuff. It's gerato to see that such
stuff is in constant progress !

I am using SUSE 10.x and found out that the support for hams is pretty
non-existent and will try to convince people to have it readded to the
packages.

Now a question.

I have an IC7000 transceiver. I found out that when I play with
commands, it seems that I don't have contact with the TRX.

Minicom @ 19200,n,8,1 and changing bands show :

0000000 fefe 0170 0101 fefd 70fe 7680 fd09 fefe
0000020 0170 0201 fefd 70fe 2044 fd14 fefe 0170
0000040 0303 fefd 70fe 1024 fd10 fefe 0170 fd01
0000060 fefe 5070 0846 fd07

so it seems like it doesn't talk gibberish athough I couldn't decypther
the output at this time.

my questions are:

1) wouldn't it be nice if the rigctl command to indicate the CI-V
address, accepted hex instead of decimal ?

-c, --civaddr=ID   set CI-V address, decimal (for Icom rigs only)

but the manual states hex (0x070h for instance)

2) is there any effort to add the ic7000 to hamlib ?

I can supply the commandlist from the manual eventually, help in testing
etc.


so far I haven't been lucky in trying a similar trx to read oud frequencies.

Rig command: f
read_string: timedout without reading a character
read_string: timedout without reading a character
read_string: timedout without reading a character
read_string: timedout without reading a character
get_freq: error = Communication timed out


I'm not on the list and am not sure if I should add myself.
