SDR device as secondary receiver in Rigctl Client. #1331

Hello,

I have a SDR TX/RX switch which allow me to use my SDR device as a second receiver and not a Pan adapter. Actually, there is only one way to control the frequency of my Yaesu FT-847 transceiver : acting as a panadapter with the need to set up the IF frequency.

I just wish you add a way to put the frequency we select in SDR++ to the transceiver via Hamlib so I can ear stations with my SDR device and answer to it with my Yaesu FT-847 transceiver without having to enter every time, the frequency I choose before manually.

I've already made this request many times by e-mail and I'm insisting again here because your software is the only one that lets me work comfortably under Linux and I really need this functionality for an educational project with my pupils that will take place next June.

Best regards, David.

I have a plugin that I have developed and have been testing that implements bi-directional VFO tracking using Hamlib on an IC7610. I developed it to use WFView with SDR++. It seems to be working without issue if you would like to build it I can provide the source. I haven't put in a pull request for this and another enhancement I have made yet.

Of course I'm interested ! All my request are ignored and if your plugin works for Icom, I hope I will be able to adapt it for my Yaesu FT-847. After that, I will put this plugin on my website for all Yaesu FT-847 Owners... If I succeed. Many thanks for your help.
