Re: Hamlib 'dummy' rig support for quisk?

Because quick and sdrsharp are both trying to emulate rigctld which is a bad idea. They'd be much better off emulating a rig like the TS-2000 or TS-480 or whatever matches their capability.
So had to disable some things that they cannot handle.

I'm having a hard time understanding its purpose.
I've read??in detail and it doesn't explain why hamlib would have a back end for quisk in the rigs/dummy directory.
It looks like there's one for sdrsharp as well, so at least one other sdr app thinks it needs one.
It's like 3,000 lines of code so it's hard to pick up on its intent, and it doesn't have a comment block at the top explaining its purpose.
At best I can guess it's for people who want to drive quisk via a (physical or virtual) serial port rather than through quisk's built-in hamlib net rig ctl support?
I thought they would do this by telling their app that they have a Kenwood TS-2000 which is what most SDR apps support?
Not an urgent question, just one that's bothering me...
