[arm-allstar] old version of HamLib

[Patrick Perdue]

Hi:

I realize that this is not a RigCTL discussion list...

I'm attempting to get a Kenwood TH-D700A frequency agile from HamVoIP 
with it's included RigCTL, and running into lots of weird issues 
controlling the rig interactively with RigCTL for testing.

For example, I can change parameters, like BEEP, levels, like SQL, or 
switch between VFO A, VFO B and MEM, and, while these all actually work, 
I get errors from RigCTL.

Rig command: V VFOA
set_vfo: error = Command rejected by the rig


Despite this error, it does actually do stuff.


I can query for current memory channel, which, of course, doesn't work, 
because I'm in VFO.

Rig command: e
get_mem: error = Feature not available


Then I can switch from VFO A to memory, which throws an error.


Rig command: V MEM
set_vfo: error = Command rejected by the rig

Yet, I am now obviously in memory, because now I can

Rig command: e
Memory#: 11

However, no matter what I do, I can't change memories.

Rig command: E 19
set_mem: error = Command rejected by the rig

Rig command: e
Memory#: 11

Looking at the version of HamVoIP's included RigCTL, it's really old.
rigctl --version
rigctl(d), Hamlib 4.0~git

I'm going to try installing hamlib fresh on another system to see if 
this fixes any issues. I am far more familiar with Debian variants than 
Archlinux, so I'll put a fresh install on Debian to play with.

Meanwhile, is there an obvious way to update the apparently 9-year-old 
version?


Thanks and 73
