Re: newbie question - hamlib and gMFSK

[Martin Ewing <martin@aa6e.net>]

Sorry! I wasn't aware of that option in gMFSK. (It's nice to read the 
freq., but not essential.) Hamlib 2.3 apparently doesn't have Orion 
support, which is what I need. I took a quick look at the code to see 
what to do to add a new rig, but it's not completely trivial. I wonder 
if it wouldn't have been possible to implement most of a rig's 
personality in a higher-level way -- in table- or rule-driven form. 
(Like sendmail -- not! :-)

The hamlib / gMFSK / xlog philosophy looks like a good one, as long as 
we are in the "Unix" world. One might wish for a true cross-platform 
solution, but that's harder.

Cheers,
Martin
