[arm-allstar] old version of HamLib

[David McGough]

Hi Patrick,

The version of hamlib included in hamvoip is the development version, 
retrieved from github, on January 02, 2019.  So, it's not the latest, but 
isn't ancient, either. It should be recent enough for full TH-D700A 
support, I would think?

I'm just starting to put together scripts to control a TM-V71A.  I'll test
to see if I'm able to duplicate any issues.

I'll update hamlib to the latest version, since I'm seeing quite a number 
of newly supported radios.

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
