FLRig TS590XX swr and alc read fix #flrig #ts-590s


 

Hallo,

first, thank you for this software!

I have recently purchased the Kenwood TS590S and found that the SWR and
ALC values are not being read by the FLRig. So I have gone through the
source and found the problem. When reading the rigs response, program is
reading only 8 bytes of data whereas it should read 24 bytes for the
whole string that the transciever returns.

Anyway, I have just made the sourceforge account and I would like to ask
you what is the best way for you to examine the git change log and maybe
include it in the next release?

I have built the flrig against these changes and can confirm it works
for the TS590S. I have also made changes for the TS590SG which I believe
works the same way regarding the SWR and ALC data but I do not have
access to the TS590SG rig so I can test and confirm.

Also, attached to this message is the git diff so you can review here also.


Best regards, Filip M. Stanic, YU3FMS

Good morning Filip,

If you plan to do additional work on the flrig source I can add you to the developers list for git push authorization.? Your attachment patch is an acceptable way for an occassional change request and modification.? Thank you for coding and testing the change.? It will be in the next development release.

Great to hear that Dave!

Please do add me for the repo as I will most likely do some further work.
One other thing that I would like to have changed is the acctual way that these readings, at least for the TS590x series, are polled, in time sense. As the TS responds with SWR,ALC & PROC data at once, so the responsivnes of the meters can be faster. Also to add the PROC meter etc.. Most likely I will bother you with some questions :)

For now, please include these changes in the next release yourself so others can benefit and later I will get back to you for your directions on which branches to work etc.

Thank You very much Dave, all the best!
