Fedora Core 4

I was scanning the FC4 package list today.  Lo and behold, hamlib
1.2.4 is there!  I wonder how many distros have our 'product'?

Can anyone verify that hamlib compiles correctly (vis-a-vis Perl etc.)
with the Fedora sources?

Debian stable (Sarge) includes 1.2.4.

I'm working on the Elecraft K2 code under FC4, the CVS version compiles
fine. I haven't tried compiling from the Fedora source RPM (I haven't
had any reason to) but I assume it would compile fine.

I have compiled and installed hamlib 1.2.4 on FC4 without any problems. I
didn't
use any --enable or --disable switches and so I think perl is enabled by
default. I didn't do any particular perl tests, though... Is there a particular
test I can run in order to check the perl part?

Patch to get S meter, ATT, and preamp functioning on TS-2000

Esteemed hamlib developers,

Attached is a patch to get the S meter working on the TS-2000
along with the attenuator and preamp functions.  The patch is against
the 1.2.4 version of kenwood.c

73,

Pat

Please post the error messages you get, otherwise I'm not sure we can
help. If you get many errors during compilation you can redirect the error
messages to file:

make 2> error.log

in bash shell; I don't know the equivalent in tcsh.

I don't know about the kenwood code, but I have a few remarks to the
patch:

> -      if (lvl_len != 7 || lvlbuf[1] != 'M') {
> +      if (((lvl_len < 6)  || (lvl_len > 8)) || lvlbuf[1] != 'M') {

Shouldn't the first comparison be lvl_len < 7? It would even be better to
use (lvl_len != 7) && (lvl_len != 8) as you do for the ATT level.

I'm curious, what is the max level TS-2000 can read? This conversion
will give +54 for the value 30, which means S9 + 54dB...
