Kenwood rit not working

Me again, and again RIT. A friend asked me to look at hamlib and RIT on
the TS2000, as it appeared to be a bit odd.

I agree with him - Hamlib follows what the spec APPEARS to say, but I
think the spec is wrong.

For RD and RU, P1 says 00000-99999 (The offset frequency in Hz)

What it appears to actually DO is to apply that offset to the RIT as an
increment.

Attached output from a rigctl run.

I'd fix it and send a pull request, but I suspect the problem applies
to ALL Kenwood rigs, and the TS2000 is the only one I have access to.

Btw I'm just working on extending the TS-480 backend significantly and noticed the same. I ended up implementing RIT/XIT for it specifically because it cannot execute RC command if RIT/XIT is not active (so it toggles RIT during RC if it's not active). Anyway this is otherwise good.

Mainly thinking if TS-2000 has the same limitation. I'll be adding some infrastructure for handling slope filters (SL/SH) and filter width (FW) too.

I think they are all like that. So it should be implemented in kenwood.c On Saturday, April 24, 2021, 01:16:27 AM CDT, Mikael Nousiainen ***@***.***> wrote: Btw I'm just working on extending the TS-480 backend significantly and noticed the same.

May need a short sleep after setting rit this way...
