How to add a new transceiver
to flrig
? Two new files will need to be added:
??? . src/include/RIGFAMILY/NEWRIG.h
??? . src/rigs/RIGFAMILY/NEWRIG.cxx
? Three files will need to be modified:
??? . Makefile.am
?????? add the references to the two new files
??? . src/include/rigs.h
??? . src/rigs/rigs.cxx
?????? add the references to the new rig
? RIGFAMILY might be icom, yaesu, elad, etc.
? NEWRIG might be IC-9999, FT-9999, etc.
Suggest using an existing rig (.cxx, .h) files as a template for
the new rig.? Choose a file that will use similar CAT commands.
After the new files have been added and the three files updated
you will need to recreate the build scripts.? From the top level
flrig directory:
? $ autoreconf
? $ ./configure
? $ make

Afternoon
All...? (From a wet day in the UK.)
Some time ago (back in the day of Linux Mint 15!), I helped "flesh
out" a new(ish) backend for the Kenwood TS870.? Receiving much
welcome help and hints from Dave and Ed via this list.
Sometime later (years.) ? ISTR there was mention of (or proposal
for) a documented guide for a "How to" showing the correct way to
create a new radio backend for Flrig, doing that either based on
an existing similar rig, or new "from scratch".
I also seem to recall, Dave 'HKJ sent me something around the same
time, but can I find that, anywhere?? Of course not.? Even if I
could, I suspect things have changed within Flrig since then...??
I can't see anything in the wiki area either.
So, is there an up-to-date document anywhere, describing how to
create and integrate a new radio backend these days?
Only ask as I have acquired an Icom IC-R9000 for the shack, and
would like to "integrate it into the fold" as it were.
(Hamlib knows of the radio, but that's not entirely complete, and
is very buggy too, though it proves that the USB<>CIV device
and radio work OK together.)
Any info re the above welcome.

friends from source without issues.
