[Rigserve-devel] Icom Receiver Development

[James W. <jim...@ma...>]

Hi,

I recently managed to get hold of an Icom R75 receiver and am hoping to
contribute a little to the Rigserve project.  I've made a few changes to
the IC-R8500 files and am able to control my rig quite happily using the
renamed R75 files.  The changes are very minor;

- rig ID
- modes
- upper/lower frequency definitions

I'm very new to python but have experience in other object orientated
languages.  I feel that the changes made are so minor it seems pointless
generating a whole new class.  I was thinking that a general 'Icom CI-V'
class would make more sense, this could then be sub-classed by rig
specific classes.  Is anyone else on the list looking at this?  I'm not
sure if my Python programming knowledge is sufficient to let me take
this very far but am willing to give it a go if no one else is.
