Package: libhamlib-utils (1.2.5-8)

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 a command-line utility to test the hamlib library and to control transceivers if you're short of anything more sophisticated.
