i570

Abstract

I am creating a library in C++ on the Linux platform to enable a developer to read and program the settings and memories of the Kenwood TS-570 family of Amateur Radio Transceivers.

License

It is currently my intent to distribute the class and accompanying files under the terms of the GNU LGPL with the stipulation that this author (KØEMT) is to receive a free copy of any commercial software that utilizes this library.

Details

The library will implement a ts570 class. The following methods will be implemented:

• read reads the ts570's settings in to the current object
• write writes the settings of the current object to the ts570
• readfile load an object with settings from a data file
• writefile writes the settings of the current object to a data file

NOTE: XML will be used for the data files.

The accompanying demonstration program i570 will do the following:

• Read the ts570's settings and save them in a data file
• Write the ts570's settings given a correct data file

It is not the intent of this class to enable Computer Aided Tuning (CAT) of the rig. Kenwood already offers an elegant solution for this need. Although this class would be a good starting point for someone wanting to do CAT.

User Software Responsibilities

• verify that all parameters are within valid ranges

Status

If you would like to receive email updates OR
are interested in testing when beta is reached, drop me an email.
