rigctl "m" command not supported, causes fldigi grumpiness

[g0hww]

I've had wsjtx running nicely with linhpsdr using the model 240 PiHPSDR backend for a few days.
I've just built hamlib 3.3 from git repo and fldigi 4.0.17 from tarball in order to get fldigi working with linhpsdr.

It seems that fldigi has issues with linhpsdr because it can't get or set the mode of the linhpsdr rx.
I've manually tried rigctl with the "m" command but it times out getting a response, with the message "get_mode: error = Communication timed out". This seems to be happening within fldigi too.

Having a nose around in the linhpsdr code, it seems that the model 240 backend maps this to the "MD" command, but there seems to be no implementation in parse_cmd() of rigctl.c that handles the "MD" command that isn't preprocessed out with "#ifdef PIHPSDR". Of course I tried commenting out those preprocessor directives to see if that got me anywhere, but then suffered from enough compilation errors that I concluded that there was no merit in that optimistically attempted bodge.

I wonder if this is an oversight or otherwise is hopefully something high up on the TODO list?

Thanks for providing us with this nice software. I'm afraid I have a couple of other issues to report and don't want to sound ungrateful :)

Cheers,

Darren, G0HWW

The current CAT commands need some more work which will be completed in the next update.
Don't worry about reporting problems, that is what the Beta release is for. I did have to rush the current version to be able to release it for Friedrichshafen.
