NAME

       rigctl - control radio transceivers and receivers

SYNOPSIS

       rigctl [-hiIlLnouV] [-m id] [-r device] [-p device] [-d device] [-P type] [-D type]
              [-s baud] [-c id] [-t char] [-C parm=val] -Y [-v[-Z]] [command|-]

DESCRIPTION

       Control radio transceivers and receivers.  rigctl accepts commands from the  command  line
       as well as in interactive mode if none are provided on the command line.

       Keep  in  mind  that Hamlib is BETA level software.  While a lot of backend libraries lack
       complete rig support, the basic functions are usually well supported.

       Please report bugs and provide feedback at the e-mail address given in  the  BUGS  section
       below.  Patches and code enhancements sent to the same address are welcome.

OPTIONS

       This  program  follows  the  usual  GNU  command  line syntax.  Short options that take an
       argument may have the value follow immediately or be separated by a space.   Long  options
       starting with two dashes (‘-’) require an ‘=’ between the option and any argument.

       Here is a summary of the supported options:

       -m, --model=id
              Select radio model number. Defaults to dummy rig.

              See model list (use “rigctl -l”).

              Note:  rigctl  (or third party software using the C API) will use radio model 2 for
              NET rigctl (communicating with rigctld).

       -r, --rig-file=device
              Use device as the file name of the port connected to the radio.

              Often a serial port, but could be a USB to serial adapter.   Typically  /dev/ttyS0,
              /dev/ttyS1,  /dev/ttyUSB0,  etc. on Linux, COM1, COM2, etc. on MS Windows.  The BSD
              flavors and Mac OS/X have their own designations.  See your system's documentation.

              Can be a network address:port, e.g. 127.0.0.1:12345

              The special string “uh-rig” may be given to enable micro-ham device support.

       -p, --ptt-file=device
              Use device as the file name of the Push-To-Talk  device  using  a  device  file  as
              described above.

       -d, --dcd-file=device
              Use  device  as the file name of the Data Carrier Detect device using a device file
              as described above.

       -P, --ptt-type=type
              Use type of Push-To-Talk device.

              Supported types are ‘RIG’ (CAT command), ‘DTR’, ‘RTS’, ‘PARALLEL’, ‘CM108’, ‘GPIO’,
              ‘GPION’, ‘NONE’, overriding PTT type defined in the rig's backend.

              Some  side effects of this command are that when type is set to DTR, read PTT state
              comes from the Hamlib frontend, not read from the radio.  When  set  to  NONE,  PTT
              state cannot be read or set even if rig backend supports reading/setting PTT status
              from the rig.

       -D, --dcd-type=type
              Use type of Data Carrier Detect device.

              Supported types are ‘RIG’ (CAT command), ‘DSR’, ‘CTS’, ‘CD’,  ‘PARALLEL’,  ‘CM108’,
              ‘GPIO’, ‘GPION’, ‘NONE’.

       -s, --serial-speed=baud
              Set serial speed to baud rate.

              Uses  maximum serial speed from radio backend capabilities (set by -m above) as the
              default.

       -c, --civaddr=id
              Use id as the CI-V address to communicate with the rig.

              Only useful for Icom and some Ten-Tec rigs.

              Note: The id is in decimal notation, unless prefixed by 0x, in  which  case  it  is
              hexadecimal.

       -t, --send-cmd-term=char
              Change the termination char for text protocol when using the send_cmd command.

              The default value is ASCII CR (‘0x0D’).  ASCII non-printing characters can be given
              as the ASCII number in hexadecimal format prepended with “0x”.   You  may  pass  an
              empty  string  for  no termination char.  The string “-1” tells rigctl to switch to
              binary protocol.  See the send_cmd command for further explanation.

              For example, to specify a command terminator for Kenwood style text  commands  pass
              “-t ';'” to rigctl.  See EXAMPLE below.

       -L, --show-conf
              List  all  config  parameters  for  the radio defined with -m above. Note the dummy
              device has no serial parameters.

       -C, --set-conf=parm=val[,parm=val]
              Set radio configuration parameter(s), e.g.  stop_bits=2.

              Use the -L option above for a list of configuration parameters for  a  given  model
              number.

       -u, --dump-caps
              Dump capabilities for the radio defined with -m above and exit.

       -l, --list
              List all model numbers defined in Hamlib and exit.

              The list is sorted by model number.

              Note:  In Linux the list can be scrolled back using Shift-PageUp/Shift-PageDown, or
              using the scrollbars of a virtual terminal in X or the cmd window in Windows.   The
              output can be piped to more(1) or less(1), e.g. “rigctl -l | more”.

       -o, --vfo
              Enable vfo mode.

              An extra VFO argument will be required in front of each appropriate command (except
              set_vfo).  Otherwise, ‘currVFO’ is used when this option is not set  and  an  extra
              VFO argument is not used.

       -n, --no-restore-ai
              On exit rigctl restores the state of auto information (AI) on the controlled rig.

              If  this  is not desired, for example if you are using rigctl to turn AI mode on or
              off, pass this option.

       -i, --read-history
              Read  previously  saved  command  and  argument  history  from  a   file   (default
              $HOME/.rigctl_history) for the current session.

              Available when rigctl is built with Readline support (see READLINE below).

              Note:  To  read a history file stored in another directory, set the RIGCTL_HIST_DIR
              environment variable, e.g. “RIGCTL_HIST_DIR=~/tmp rigctl -i”.  When RIGCTL_HIST_DIR
              is not set, the value of HOME is used.

       -I, --save-history
              Write  current session (and previous session(s), if -i option is given) command and
              argument history to a file  (default  $HOME/.rigctl_history)  at  the  end  of  the
              current session.

              Complete commands with arguments are saved as a single line to be recalled and used
              or edited.  Available when rigctl is built  with  Readline  support  (see  READLINE
              below).

              Note:  To  write  a  history  file  in  another  directory, set the RIGCTL_HIST_DIR
              environment   variable,   e.g.   “RIGCTL_HIST_DIR=~/tmp    rigctl    -IRq.     When
              RIGCTL_HIST_DIR is not set, the value of HOME is used.

       -v, --verbose
              Set verbose mode, cumulative (see DIAGNOSTICS below).

       -Y,--ignore-err
              Ignores rig open errors

       -Z, --debug-time-stamps
              Enable time stamps for the debug messages.

              Use only in combination with the -v option as it generates no output on its own.

       -h, --help
              Show a summary of these options and exit.

       -V, --version
              Show version of rigctl and exit.

       -      Stop option processing and read commands from standard input.

              See Standard Input below.

       Note:  Some  options  may  not be implemented by a given backend and will return an error.
       This is most likely to occur with the --set-conf and --show-conf options.

       Please note that the backend for the radio to be controlled, or the radio itself  may  not
       support some commands.  In that case, the operation will fail with a Hamlib error code.

COMMANDS

       Commands  can be entered either as a single char, or as a long command name.  The commands
       are not prefixed with a dash as the options are.  They may be typed in when in interactive
       mode  or  provided  as  argument(s)  in  command line interface mode.  In interactive mode
       commands and their arguments may be entered on a single line:

           M LSB 2400

       Since most of the Hamlib operations have a set and a  get  method,  a  single  upper  case
       letter  will  often  be  used for a set method whereas the corresponding single lower case
       letter refers to the get method.  Each operation also has  a  long  name;  in  interactive
       mode, prepend a backslash, ‘\’, to enter a long command name all lower case.

       Example: Use “\dump_caps” to see what capabilities this radio and backend support.

              Note:  The  backend  for  the  radio  to be controlled, or the radio itself may not
              support some commands. In that case, the operation will fail with  a  Hamlib  error
              message.

   Standard Input
       As  an  alternative to the READLINE interactive command entry or a single command for each
       run, rigctl features a special option where a single  dash  (‘-’)  may  be  used  to  read
       commands from standard input (stdin).  Commands must be separated by whitespace similar to
       the commands given on the command line.  Comments may be added using  the  ‘#’  character,
       all text up until the end of the current line including the ‘#’ character is ignored.

       A simple example (typed text is in bold):

           $ cat <<.EOF. >cmds.txt
           > # File of commands
           > v f m   # query rig
           > V VFOB F 14200000 M CW 500  # set rig
           > v f m   # query rig
           > .EOF.

           $ rigctl -m1 - <cmds.txt

           v VFOA

           f 145000000

           m FM
           15000

           V VFOB
           F 14200000
           M CW 500
           v VFOB

           f 14200000

           m CW
           500

           $

   rigctl Commands
       A summary of commands is included below (In the case of set commands the quoted italicized
       string is replaced by the value in the description.  In  the  case  of  get  commands  the
       quoted italicized string is the key name of the value returned.):

       Q|q, exit rigctl
              Exit rigctl in interactive mode.

              When  rigctl  is controlling the rig directly, will close the rig backend and port.
              When rigctl is connected to rigctld (radio  model  2),  the  TCP/IP  connection  to
              rigctld is closed and rigctld remains running, available for another TCP/IP network
              connection.

       F, set_freq 'Frequency'
              Set 'Frequency', in Hz.

              Frequency may be a floating point or integer value.

       f, get_freq
              Get 'Frequency', in Hz.

              Returns an integer value and the VFO hamlib thinks is active.  Note that some  rigs
              (e.g.  all  Icoms)  cannot track current VFO so hamlib can get out of sync with the
              rig if the user presses rig buttons like the VFO.

       M, set_mode 'Mode' 'Passband'
              Set 'Mode' and 'Passband'.

              Mode is a token: ‘USB’, ‘LSB’, ‘CW’, ‘CWR’, ‘RTTY’,  ‘RTTYR’,  ‘AM’,  ‘FM’,  ‘WFM’,
              ‘AMS’,  ‘PKTLSB’,  ‘PKTUSB’,  ‘PKTFM’,  ‘ECSSUSB’,  ‘ECSSLSB’,  ‘FA’, ‘SAM’, ‘SAL’,
              ‘SAH’, ‘DSB’.

              Passband is in Hz as an integer, -1 for no change, or ‘0’  for  the  radio  backend
              default.

              Note:  Passing  a  ‘?’  (query)  as the first argument instead of a Mode token will
              return a space separated list of  radio  backend  supported  Modes.   Use  this  to
              determine the supported Modes of a given radio backend.

       m, get_mode
              Get 'Mode' and 'Passband'.

              Returns Mode as a token and Passband in Hz as in set_mode above.

       V, set_vfo 'VFO'
              Set 'VFO'.

              VFO  is  a  token:  ‘VFOA’, ‘VFOB’, ‘VFOC’, ‘currVFO’, ‘VFO’, ‘MEM’, ‘Main’, ‘Sub’,
              ‘TX’, ‘RX’.

              In VFO mode (see --vfo option above) only a single VFO parameter is required:

                  $ rigctl -m 229 -r /dev/rig -o

                  Rig command: V
                  VFO: VFOB

                  Rig command:

       v, get_vfo
              Get current 'VFO'.

              Returns VFO as a token as in set_vfo above.

       J, set_rit 'RIT'
              Set 'RIT'.

              RIT is in Hz and can be + or -.  A value of ‘0’ resets  RIT  (Receiver  Incremental
              Tuning) to match the VFO frequency.

              Note:  RIT  needs  to  be  explicitly  activated  or  deactivated with the set_func
              command.  This allows setting the RIT offset independently of  its  activation  and
              allows RIT to remain active while setting the offset to ‘0’.

       j, get_rit
              Get 'RIT' in Hz.

              Returned value is an integer.

       Z, set_xit 'XIT'
              Set 'XIT'.

              XIT is in Hz and can be + or -.  A value of ‘0’ resets XIT (Transmitter Incremental
              Tuning) to match the VFO frequency.

              Note: XIT needs to  be  explicitly  activated  or  deactivated  with  the  set_func
              command.   This  allows  setting the XIT offset independently of its activation and
              allows XIT to remain active while setting the offset to ‘0’.

       z, get_xit
              Get 'XIT' in Hz.

              Returned value is an integer.

       T, set_ptt 'PTT'
              Set 'PTT'.

              PTT is a value: ‘0’ (RX), ‘1’ (TX), ‘2’ (TX mic), or ‘3’ (TX data).

       t, get_ptt
              Get 'PTT' status.

              Returns PTT as a value in set_ptt above.

       S, set_split_vfo 'Split' 'TX VFO'
              Set 'Split' mode.

              Split is either ‘0’ = Normal or ‘1’ = Split.

              Set 'TX VFO'.

              TX VFO is a token: ‘VFOA’, ‘VFOB’, ‘VFOC’, ‘currVFO’, ‘VFO’, ‘MEM’, ‘Main’,  ‘Sub’,
              ‘TX’, ‘RX’.

       s, get_split_vfo
              Get 'Split' mode.

              Split is either ‘0’ = Normal or ‘1’ = Split.

              Get 'TX VFO'.

              TX VFO is a token as in set_split_vfo above.

       I, set_split_freq 'Tx Frequency'
              Set 'TX Frequency', in Hz.

              Frequency may be a floating point or integer value.

       i, get_split_freq
              Get 'TX Frequency', in Hz.

              Returns an integer value.

       X, set_split_mode 'TX Mode' 'TX Passband'
              Set 'TX Mode' and 'TX Passband'.

              TX  Mode is a token: ‘USB’, ‘LSB’, ‘CW’, ‘CWR’, ‘RTTY’, ‘RTTYR’, ‘AM’, ‘FM’, ‘WFM’,
              ‘AMS’, ‘PKTLSB’, ‘PKTUSB’,  ‘PKTFM’,  ‘ECSSUSB’,  ‘ECSSLSB’,  ‘FA’,  ‘SAM’,  ‘SAL’,
              ‘SAH’, ‘DSB’.

              TX Passband is in Hz as an integer, or ‘0’ for the radio backend default.

              Note:  Passing  a ‘?’ (query) as the first argument instead of a TX Mode token will
              return a space separated list of radio backend supported TX  Modes.   Use  this  to
              determine the supported TX Modes of a given radio backend.

       x, get_split_mode
              Get 'TX Mode' and 'TX Passband'.

              Returns TX Mode as a token and TX Passband in Hz as in set_split_mode above.

       Y, set_ant 'Antenna' 'Option'
              Set 'Antenna' and 'Option'.

              Number is 1-based antenna# (‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ...).

              Option  depends  on  rig..for  Icom it probably sets the Tx & Rx antennas as in the
              IC-7851. See your manual for rig specific option values. Most rigs don't care about
              the option.

              For the IC-7851, FTDX3000 (and perhaps others) it means this:

                  1 = TX/RX = ANT1  FTDX3000=ANT1/ANT3
                  2 = TX/RX = ANT2  FTDX3000=ANT2/ANT3
                  3 = TX/RX = ANT3  FTDX3000=ANT3
                  4 = TX/RX = ANT1/ANT4
                  5 = TX/RX = ANT2/ANT4
                  6 = TX/RX = ANT3/ANT4

       y, get_ant 'Antenna'
              Get 'Antenna'

              A value of 0 for Antenna will return the current TX antenna

              > 0 is 1-based antenna# (‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ...).

              Option returned depends on rig..for Icom is likely the RX only flag.

       b, send_morse 'Morse'
              Send 'Morse' symbols.  For Yaesu rigs use memory#.

       0xbb, stop_morse
              Stop sending the current morse code.

       0xbc, wait_morse
              Wait for morse to finish -- only works on full break-in

       0x8b, get_dcd
              Get 'DCD' (squelch) status: ‘0’ (Closed) or ‘1’ (Open).

       R, set_rptr_shift 'Rptr Shift'
              Set 'Rptr Shift'.

              Rptr Shift is one of: ‘+’, ‘-’, or something else for ‘None’.

       r, get_rptr_shift
              Get 'Rptr Shift'.

              Returns ‘+’, ‘-’, or ‘None’.

       O, set_rptr_offs 'Rptr Offset'
              Set 'Rptr Offset', in Hz.

       o, get_rptr_offs
              Get 'Rptr Offset', in Hz.

       C, set_ctcss_tone 'CTCSS Tone'
              Set 'CTCSS Tone', in tenths of Hz.

       c, get_ctcss_tone
              Get 'CTCSS Tone', in tenths of Hz.

       D, set_dcs_code 'DCS Code'
              Set 'DCS Code'.

       d, get_dcs_code
              Get 'DCS Code'.

       0x90, set_ctcss_sql 'CTCSS Sql'
              Set 'CTCSS Sql' tone, in tenths of Hz.

       0x91, get_ctcss_sql

       U, set_func 'Func' 'Func Status'
              Set 'Func' and 'Func Status'.

              Func  is  a  token:  ‘FAGC’, ‘NB’, ‘COMP’, ‘VOX’, ‘TONE’, ‘TSQL’, ‘SBKIN’, ‘FBKIN’,
              ‘ANF’, ‘NR’, ‘AIP’, ‘APF’, ‘MON’, ‘MN’, ‘RF’, ‘ARO’, ‘LOCK’, ‘MUTE’, ‘VSC’,  ‘REV’,

              ‘TUNER’, ‘XIT’.

              Func Status is a non null value for “activate” or “de-activate” otherwise, much  as
              TRUE/FALSE definitions in the C language (true is non-zero and false is zero, ‘0’).

              Note:  Passing  a  ‘?’  (query)  as the first argument instead of a Func token will
              return a space separated list of radio backend supported set function tokens.   Use
              this to determine the supported functions of a given radio backend.

       u, get_func 'Func'
              Get 'Func Status'.

              Note: Passing a ‘?’ (query) as the first argument instead of  a  Level  token  will
              return  a  space  separated  list of radio backend supported set level tokens.  Use
              this to determine the supported levels of a given radio backend.

       l, get_level 'Level'
              Get 'Level Value'.

              Returns Level Value as a float or integer for the Level token given as in set_level
              above.

              Note:  Passing  a  ‘?’  (query) as the first argument instead of a Level token will
              return a space separated list of radio backend supported  get  level  tokens.   Use
              this to determine the supported levels of a given radio backend.

       P, set_parm 'Parm' 'Parm Value'

              Parm is a token: ‘ANN’, ‘APO’, ‘BACKLIGHT’, ‘BEEP’, ‘TIME’, ‘BAT’, ‘KEYLIGHT’.

              Note:  Passing  a  ‘?’  (query)  as the first argument instead of a Parm token will
              return a space separated list of radio backend supported set parameter tokens.  Use
              this to determine the supported parameters of a given radio backend.

       p, get_parm 'Parm'
              Get 'Parm Value'.

              Returns  Parm  Value  as a float or integer for the Parm token given as in set_parm
              above.

              Note: Passing a ‘?’ (query) as the first argument instead  of  a  Parm  token  will
              return a space separated list of radio backend supported get parameter tokens.  Use
              this to determine the supported parameters of a given radio backend.

       B, set_bank 'Bank'
              Set 'Bank'.

              Sets the current memory bank number.

              Get 'Memory#' channel number.

       G, vfo_op 'Mem/VFO Op'
              Perform a 'Mem/VFO Op'.

              Mem/VFO Operation is a token: ‘CPY’, ‘XCHG’,  ‘FROM_VFO’,  ‘TO_VFO’,  ‘MCL’,  ‘UP’,
              ‘DOWN’, ‘BAND_UP’, ‘BAND_DOWN’, ‘LEFT’, ‘RIGHT’, ‘TUNE’, ‘TOGGLE’.

              Note:  Passing  a  ‘?’  (query) as the first argument instead of a Mem/VFO Op token
              will return a space separated list  of  radio  backend  supported  Set  Mem/VFO  Op
              tokens.  Use this to determine the supported Mem/VFO Ops of a given radio backend.

       g, scan 'Scan Fct' 'Scan Channel'
              Perform a 'Scan Fct' on a 'Scan Option'.

              Scan  Function  is  a token: ‘STOP’, ‘MEM’, ‘SLCT’, ‘PRIO’, ‘PROG’, ‘DELTA’, ‘VFO’,
              ‘PLT’.

              Scan Option is an integer.

              Scan Option for Yaesu rigs 0=STOP, 1=UP, 2=DOWN.

              Scan Option for Icom rigs is a channel number to program with G otherwise not used.

              Scan Option for Kenwood rigs is not used.

              Note: Passing a ‘?’ (query) as the first argument instead of a Scan Fct token  will
              return a space separated list of radio backend supported Scan Function tokens.  Use
              this to determine the supported Scan Functions of a given radio backend.

       H, set_channel 'Channel'
              Set memory 'Channel' data.

              Sets memory channel information

       h, get_channel 'readonly'
              Get channel memory.

              If readonly!=0 then only channel data is returned and rig remains  on  the  current
              channel.  If readonly=0 then rig will be set to the channel requested.  data.

       A, set_trn 'Transceive'
              Set 'Transceive' mode.

              Transcieve is a token: ‘OFF’, ‘RIG’, ‘POLL’.

              Transceive  is  a mechanism for radios to report events without a specific call for
              information.

              Note: Passing a ‘?’ (query) as the first argument instead  of  a  Transceive  token
              will  return  a  space  separated  list  of radio backend supported Transceive mode
              tokens.  Use this to determine the supported Transceive  modes  of  a  given  radio
              backend.

       a, get_trn
              Get 'Transceive' mode.

              Transceive mode (reporting event) as in set_trn above.

       *, reset 'Reset'
              Perform rig 'Reset'.

              Reset  is  a value: ‘0’ = None, ‘1’ = Software reset, ‘2’ = VFO reset, ‘4’ = Memory
              Clear reset, ‘8’ = Master reset.

              Since these values are defined as a bitmask in include/hamlib/rig.h, it  should  be
              possible to AND these values together to do multiple resets at once, if the backend
              supports it or supports a reset action via rig control at all.

       0x87, set_powerstat 'Power Status'
              Set 'Power Status'.

              Power Status is a value: ‘0’ = Power Off, ‘1’ =  Power  On,  ‘2’  =  Power  Standby
              (enter standby), ‘4’ = Power Operate (leave standby).

       0x88, get_powerstat
              Get 'Power Status' as in set_powerstat above.

       0x89, send_dtmf 'Digits'
              Set DTMF 'Digits'.

       0x8a, recv_dtmf
              Get DTMF 'Digits'.

              Get misc information about the rig.

       0xf5, get_rig_info
              Get misc information about the rig vfo status and other info.

       0xf3, get_vfo_info 'VFO'
              Get misc information about a specific vfo.

       dump_state
              Return certain state information about the radio backend.

       1, dump_caps
              Not  a  real  rig remote command, it just dumps capabilities, i.e. what the backend
              knows about this model, and what it can do.

              TODO: Ensure this is in a consistent  format  so  it  can  be  read  into  a  hash,
              dictionary, etc.  Bug reports requested.

              Note:  This command will produce many lines of output so be very careful if using a
              fixed length array!  For example, running this command against  the  Dummy  backend
              results in over 5kB of text output.

              VFO parameter not used in 'VFO mode'.

       2, power2mW 'Power [0.0..1.0]' 'Frequency' 'Mode'
              Returns 'Power mW'.

              Converts a Power value in a range of 0.0...1.0 to the real transmit power in milli-
              Watts (integer).

              'Frequency' and 'Mode' also need to be provided as output power may vary  according
              to these values.

              VFO parameter is not used in VFO mode.

       4, mW2power 'Power mW' 'Frequency' 'Mode'
              Returns 'Power [0.0..1.0]'.

              Converts  the  real  transmit  power in milli-Watts (integer) to a Power value in a
              range of 0.0 ... 1.0.

              'Frequency' and 'Mode' also need to be provided as output power may vary  according
              to these values.

              VFO parameter is not used in VFO mode.

       w, send_cmd 'Cmd'
              Send a raw command string to the radio.

              This  is  useful  for testing and troubleshooting radio commands and responses when
              developing a backend.

              For binary protocols enter values as \0xAA\0xBB.  Expect a 'Reply' from  the  radio
              which  will  likely  be  a binary block or an ASCII string depending on the radio's
              protocol (see your radio's computer control documentation).

              The command terminator, set by the send-cmd-term option above, will terminate  each
              command string sent to the radio.  This character should not be a part of the input
              string.

       W, send_cmd_rx 'Cmd' [nbytesorterminatorchar
              Send a raw command string to the radio and expect nbytes returned or the terminator
              char (e.g. ;).

              This  is  useful  for testing and troubleshooting radio commands and responses when
              developing a backend.  If the # of  bytes  requested  is  <=  the  number  actually
              returned no timeout will occur.

              The  command  argument can have no spaces in it.  For binary protocols enter values
              as \0xAA\0xBB.  Expect a 'Reply' from the radio which will likely be a binary block
              or  an  ASCII  string  depending on the radio's protocol (see your radio's computer
              control documentation).

              The command terminator, set by the send-cmd-term option above, will terminate  each
              command string sent to the radio.  This character should not be a part of the input
              string.

       set_clock 'DateTime'
              Set 'DateTime'

              Sets rig clock -- note that some rigs do not handle seconds  or  milliseconds.   If
              you  try  to  set sec/msec and rig does not support it you will get a debug warning
              message.  Format is ISO8601,
              Formats accepted allow for 2-digit or 4-digit time zone
              YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSS+ZZ (where +ZZ is either -/+ UTC offset HH)
              YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSS+ZZZZ (where +ZZZZ is either -/+ UTC offset HHMM)
              YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+ZZ
              YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+ZZZZ
              YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM+ZZ
              YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM+ZZZZ
              YYYY-MM-DD (sets date only)
              Note: Icom rigs expect you to set local time and the hours off to UTC.
              So...4PM EST example would be 2021-12-01T16:00:00+0500
              But...if you want to display GMT you must set the clock for GMT with zero UTC offset.
              Hopefully Icom will allow displaying either clock in the future

       get_clock
              Get 'RigTime'

              Gets rig clock -- note that some  rigs  do  not  handle  seconds  or  milliseconds.
              Format is ISO8601 YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.sss+ZZ where +ZZ is either -/+ UTC offset

       chk_vfo
              Get 'Status'

              Returns  Status  as 1 if vfo option is on and 0 if vfo option is off.  This command
              reflects the -o switch for rigctl and ritctld and can  be  dynamically  changed  by
              set_vfo_opt.

       set_vfo_opt 'Status'
              Set 'Status'

              Set  vfo  option  Status  1=on or 0=off This is the same as using the -o switch for
              rigctl and ritctld.  This can be dyamically changed while running.

       get_separator
              Get 'SeparatorChar'

              Shows the current SeparatorChar

       set_separator 'SeparatorChar'
              Set 'SeparatorChar'

              Change rigctld response to use a special char instead  of  newline  (recommend  #).
              This  can  be  dyamically  changed  while running.  Handy for node-red's tcprequest
              node.  This can be dyamically changed while running.

       pause 'Seconds'
              Pause for the given whole (integer) number of 'Seconds'  before  sending  the  next
              command to the radio.

       password 'Password'
              Sends  password  to  rigctld  when  rigctld has been secured with -A.  Must use the
              32-char shared secret from rigctld.

       set_lock_mode 'Locked'
              Turns mode lock on(1) or off(0) (only when using rigctld).  Turning on will prevent
              all clients from changing the rig mode.  For example this is useful when running CW
              Skimmer in FM mode on an IC-7300.  Clicking spots in a spotting  program  will  not
              change  the  VFOA  mode  when  lock is on.  So "set_lock_mode 1" when CW Skimmer is
              started and "set_lock_mode 0" when CW Skimmer is stopped.

       get_lock_mode
              Returns current lock mode status 1=On, 2=Off (only useful when using rigctld)

       send_raw 'Terminator' 'String'
              Can send ASCII string or 0xnn values -- there can be no spaces in the command string.
              Possible terminator values are CR, LF, ;, ICOM, 0-100 (bytes to read), or -1 meaning unknown (will timeout on read)
              Examples:
                send_raw ; FA;MD;
                send_raw icom 0xFE;0xFE;0x94;0x03;0xFD
                send_raw -1 0xFE;0xFE;0x94;0x03;0xFD
                send_raw 14 0xFE;0xFE;0x94;0x03;0xFD

READLINE

       If Readline library development  files  are  found  at  configure  time,  rigctl  will  be
       conditonally built with Readline support for command and argument entry.  Readline command
       key  bindings  are   at   their   defaults   as   described   in   the   Readline   manual
       ⟨https://tiswww.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/rluserman.html⟩.  rigctl sets the name “rigctl”
       which can be used in Conditional Init Constructs in the Readline Init File ($HOME/.inputrc
       by default) for custom keybindings unique to rigctl.

       Command  history  is  available with Readline support as described in the Readline History
       manual   ⟨https://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/history.html#SEC1⟩.     Command    and
       argument  strings  are  stored  as single lines even when arguments are prompted for input
       individually.  Commands and arguments are not validated  and  are  stored  as  typed  with
       values separated by a single space.

       Normally  session history is not saved, however, use of either of the -i/--read-history or
       -I/--save-history options when starting rigctl will cause any previously saved history  to
       be  read  in  and/or  the current and any previous session history (assuming the -i and -I
       options are given together) will be written out when rigctl is  closed.   Each  option  is
       mutually exclusive, i.e. either may be given separately or in combination.  This is useful
       to save a set of commands and then read them later but not write the modified history  for
       a consistent set of test commands in interactive mode, for example.

       History  is  stored in $HOME/.rigctl_history by default although the destination directory
       may be changed by setting the RIGCTL_HIST_DIR environment variable.  When  RIGCTL_HIST_DIR
       is  unset,  the  value  of  the  HOME  environment  variable  is  used  instead.  Only the
       destination directory may be changed at this time.

       If Readline support is not found at configure time the original internal  command  handler
       is  used.  Readline is not used for rigctl commands entered on the command line regardless
       if Readline support is built in or not.

       Note: Readline support is not included in the MS  Windows  32  or  64  bit  binary  builds
       supplied  by  the  Hamlib Project.  Running rigctl on the MS Windows platform in the ‘cmd’
       shell does give session command line history, however, it is not  saved  to  disk  between
       sessions.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The -v, --verbose option allows different levels of diagnostics to be output to stderr and
       correspond to -v for BUG, -vv for ERR, -vvv for WARN, -vvvv for  VERBOSE,  or  -vvvvv  for
       TRACE.

       A  given  verbose  level is useful for providing needed debugging information to the email
       address below.  For example, TRACE output shows all of the values  sent  to  and  received
       from  the  radio  which  is  very  useful for radio backend library development and may be
       requested by the developers.

EXIT STATUS

       rigctl exits with:

       0      if all operations completed normally;

       1      if there was an invalid command line option or argument;

       2      if an error was returned by Hamlib.

EXAMPLES

       Start rigctl for a Yaesu FT-920 using a USB to serial  adapter  on  Linux  in  interactive
       mode:

           $ rigctl -m 1014 -r /dev/ttyUSB1

       Start  rigctl for a Yaesu FT-920 using COM1 on MS Windows while generating TRACE output to
       stderr:

           > rigctl -m 1014 -r COM1 -vvvvv

       Start rigctl for a Yaesu FT-920 using a USB to serial adapter while setting baud rate  and
       stop bits:

           $ rigctl -m 1014 -r /dev/ttyUSB1 -s 4800 -C stop_bits=2

       Start  rigctl  for an Elecraft K3 using a USB to serial adapter while specifying a command
       terminator for the w command:

           $ rigctl -m 2029 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -t';'

       Connect to a running rigctld with radio model 2 (“NET  rigctl”)  on  the  local  host  and
       specifying the TCP port, setting frequency and mode:

           $ rigctl -m 2 -r localhost:4532 F 7253500 M LSB 0

BUGS

       set_chan has no entry method as of yet, hence left unimplemented.
