FT8900 Controller

This home for this project is located at https://github.com/cob16/rt8900_serial_control

This application and included library provide computer control for the YAESU FT-8900r radio by pretending to be the detached control head of the radio. This is done by attaching a serial device to the connecting serial control lines.

Features

Currency this application can be used to set and get both VFO's:

• Frequency
• Volume
• Squelch
• Transmission Power
• Push-to-talk
• "Main" status
• Busy status

Usage

Usage: rt8900c [OPTION...] <serial port path>
Provides serial control for the YAESU FT-8900R Transceiver.

  -d, --dtr-on               Use the DTR pin of the serial connection as a
                             power button for the rig. (REQUIRES compatible
                             hardware)
      --hard-emulation       Exactly emulates the radio head instead of being
                             lazy_sending (worse performance, no observed
                             benefit, only useful for debugging)
  -v, --verbose[=LEVEL]      Produce verbose output add a number to select
                             level (1 = ERROR, 2= WARNING, 3=INFO, 4=ERROR,
                             5=DEBUG) output default is 'warning'.
  -?, --help                 Give this help list
      --usage                Give a short usage message
  -V, --version              Print program version

Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional
for any corresponding short options.
