<br><br><strong><h3>Supported transceivers:</h3>
</strong> The Radio Control interface is provided using <i>hamlib</i>,
a set of libraries, which is a development effort to provide a
consistent interface for programmers wanting to incorporate radio
control in their programs. <i>hamlib</i> is not a complete user
application, rather, it is a software layer intended to make
controlling various radios and other shack hardware much easier.
<br><br> Most recent amateur radio transceivers allow external control
of their functions through a serial 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.
<br><br> There's no standardized protocol to remotely control one's
rig, be it a Ham radio transceiver, a SWL receiver, any kind of scanner
or other mobiles. However, many manufacturer have designed their
own proprietary protocol, implemented in some of their product family.
Therefore, each rig family will require a <i>hamlib</i> backend to set
the VFO frequency, change mode and passband width, get current signal
strength, etc. The actual list of supported radios can be found <ahref="https://sourceforge.net/p/hamlib/wiki/Supported%20Radios/"><strong>on Hamlib website</strong></a>.
