Description-en: Utilities to support the hamlib radio control library
Most recent amateur radio transceivers allow external control of their
functions through a computer interface. Unfortunately, control commands are
not always consistent across a manufacturer's product line and each
manufacturer's product line differs greatly from its competitors.
.
This library addresses that issue by providing a standardised programming
interface that applications can talk to and translating that into the
appropriate commands required by the radio in use.
.
This package provides command-line utilities to test the hamlib library and
to control transceivers if you're short of anything more sophisticated:
ampctl ampctld rigctl rigctlcom rigctld rigmem rigsmtr rigswr rotctl rotctld
