[arm-allstar] K0HYT Remote base

[Doug Crompton]

Remote base software internal to Allstar will be removed from hamvoip code
in the near future, This is buggy and at this point unsupported code. We
announced this last summer and again several times since then so anyone
using the internal remote base code to control a radio should be aware of
this.

We suggest you use hamlib which is built-in to the hamvoip code. You can
use the "autopatch" interface for now to access it with scripts. See the
howto at hamvoip.org

hamlib supports many rigs and ham devices via the USB port (and serial with
a USB to serial converter)

At the Linux prompt type -

rigctl -l

for supported rigs and

rigctl -h

For the commands. These commands can be issued at the Linux prompt and of
course issues via a script and interfaced to Allstar via the "autopatch"
interface as described in the howto. In the near future we will have a
specific interface for this when the internal remote base code is removed.

This is quite a bit of online help for hamlib but if you have more
questions please ask.
