Flrig v1.3.45 now available

The hard-working development team led by W1HKJ have announced the release of Flrig v1.3.45. Flrig is a transceiver control program designed to be used either stand alone or as an adjunct to Fldigi.

As with all of the FL suite, Flrig continues to support both PowerPC and Intel (i386) processors; with individual downloads available for each architecture and can be downloaded here.

Version 1.3.45 Maintenance release:

. FT-891 - update
. TT-550 - restore tabs dialog visibility
. sliders - add user configuration for sliders
. modify Win32 build scripts
. combo/listbox controls - remove readonly attribute of input box
. RPC::XML methods - expose set/get for volum, mic, rfgain
. Add Kenwood TS790 backend

FT-891 update
* Initial rewrite of ft-891 commands to support mode changes
* Modify to allow unique FT891 read intitial values
* MIC gain, corrected increment to be 1, not 2.5, radio
supports 1-100 in increments of 1.
* Added SQL (squelch) support, and slider.
* Pull up min/max/step settings out of CXX into header file
for consistency
* Fix to assign values read from radio if it differs from
slider or VFO structs, including:
- MIC gain
- SQL (squelch)
* Style cleanup, and adding comments
* A/B swap, and A or B button selection
* Make FT-891 functions mode-aware, to correctly read
frequency based on active VFO. Start up VFO A/B initial-
ization fixed to preserve mode and bandwidth correctly.
* Fix for DNR slider level ranges, as well as tooltips.
* FT891 driver class cleanup, removing labels for ATT and
IPO and moving those out to initialization routine.
* Tooltips and label corrections for NB and NR.
* NB slider greys out if NB button turned off. Still needs
some work.
* First attempt to enable NR slider (not working).
* Fix to update power slider if it mismatches with radio
reading.
* THIS IS A GLOBAL CHANGE THAT EFFECTS EVERY SUPPORTED XCVR
Fix for power level not updating after slider drag. Changed
to use FL_WHEN_RELEASE instead of FL_WHEN_CHANGED, so that
slider is updated when done sliding, alowing inhibit_power to
be reset, so radio-side changes are tracked in the slider again.
* Remove unused FT891_blanker_level variable
* Fix for VFOA after mode change dropdown selection changes
between USB or DATA-U
* Fix to set VFO after mode, to avoid frequency shift offsets
caused by mode change
* Fix to allow opBW bandwidth control to update from rig changes
without needing to be clicked first.
* Fix: Bandwidth control will automatically track radio changes
without needing a dropdown selection first.
* Fix: PR command can only be set in SSB modes \n Fix: Narrow
band selection up to 450Hz.
* Clearing string before sending command. Might be string
unsafe...needs review.
* Make FT-891 functions mode-aware, to correctly read frequency
based on active VFO. Start up VFO A/B initialization fixed to
preserve mode and bandwidth correctly.
* Fix to capture both mode and bandwidth for FT891, so correct
bandwidth tables are loaded, and restore mode and bandwidth
after A/B mode change.
* Yaesu 891 restore bandwidth after A/B mode change
* Add speech processor compression ON/OFF button, set text/tooltip,
and implement get_compression to read ON/OFF state and compression
levels from the FT891.
* DNR button and slider tooltip edit from 'Dynamic' to 'DSP' to
match Yaesu terminology in the manual for consistency.
* Renaming AN (auto notch) to DNF 'DSP Auto Notch Filter' to
match corresponding DNF toggle in Function-2 menu of the FT891,
for clarity.
* Fix to assign current value from rig to Attenuator and preamp
buttons anytime state of button and rig differ. This fixes
mismatches in button startup state for FT-891.
* Removed disabling NB slider, for consistency with other controls
and to eliminate bugs with on/off button and slider state.
* Increased IF shift to support full range, which is from +/-0~1200,
not +/-0~1000.
* Increased notch filter to support full range, which is from 1-320,
not 300.
* Default FT891 to only send slider updates to rig once slider is
released. This avoids a condition where once slider is released,
the slider value no longer tracks changes from controls on the rig.
* Fix: RF GAIN only goes to 30, not 100.

TT-550
* restore tabs dialog visibility

sliders
* add user configuration for sliders
- for xcvrs that support quick change - FL_WHEN_CHANGED
- else FL_WHEN_RELEASE

scripts
* modify Win32 build scripts

Read initial value
* Modify to allow unique FT891 read intitial values

Combos
* remove readonly attribute of input box
* save/restore user entered combo entries

RPC::XML methods
* expose set/get methods on xmlrpc interface
- volume, mic, rfg, version
* restore mic control on small-ui large sliders

TS790
* Add Kenwood TS790 backend

CW ops
* Some transceivers either by default or by user option
change the vfo when changing mode, ie: USB->CW->LSB
etc. Typical of TS2000 by default. IC7300 allows user
to set that option ... not something I would ever elect.
