*General Information
The current rig control in XPCOM is designed to handle
the following radios.
All Kenwood radios.
All ICOM radios.
Yaesu FT757 and FT767
TenTec OMNI VI
TenTec Paragon
Note -> The FT990 and FT1000 are included in the
transceiver menu but are not supported in this
release.
The transceiver interface was primarily implemented to allow
automatic frequency entry into the log book. It also
offers most of the basic commands to control the radio.
The control panel has been made as "generic" as possible
to allow it to be easily updated for other radios, as
such, many of the items that are supported by some
radios, ie filter selection, spilt operation etc are not
included in this control panel.
The Memory Option that is displayed in the control panel
is not implemented in version 1.4 of XPCOM. This will be
used in a later release.

To active the transceiver control panel, press Alt-O. This will
place a small transceiver control panel at the bottom of the
screen. The current VFO A and B frequencies should be
available in the menu.

"Alt-F" key, enter the frequency and press enter. This
frequency will be entered in the radio only if VFO B is
