Hi,

Thanks for reporting this!

There is a bug in the error handling here, so you get a misleading error message.

The correct syntax is freq <transport>. E.g. to get the current dial frequency of the rig configured with ARDOP: freq ardop.

I'll include an improvement of the error handling (and usage text) in the next release. With this fix, you'll get the following output instead:

in ~ ➜ pat interactive
> freq
Missing transport parameter.
Syntax: freq <transport>[:<frequency>]
