AB6A RigCtl 1.8

New

• A daemon can name the receiver it reports. Plain get_freq follows
  whichever VFO the rig currently has selected, so on a dual-receive radio every
  daemon showed the same frequency — two WSJT-X instances on an IC-7760 both
  read Main. A profile can now be set to Main, Sub, VFO A, VFO B,
  or whichever is current.

• "Main and Sub" reports the whole radio over one connection. get_vfo_info
  addresses a VFO by name, so a second daemon was never needed just to see the
  second receiver. Set a profile to Main and Sub and the menu shows a line per
  receiver.

• An x to remove a configured device, including devices that are not
  currently attached — those previously had no row to untick and could not be
  deleted from the window at all.

Note

This is display only. It does not steer CAT writes: an unqualified set_freq or
PTT still acts on the rig's active VFO, whichever client sent it.

Requires Hamlib

brew install hamlib

Hamlib provides rigctld, rotctld and ampctld — the daemons this app starts
and reads from — and their model tables. It is not bundled. Tested against
Hamlib 4.7.2.
