Enh: Allow IR blaster to transmit a non-numeric tuning string #482

JustFred51 commented 1 year ago

When using an IR blaster, attempting to send a non-numeric tuning string such as "42-1" gets transmitted as "421". Not all blasters support sending non-numeric strings, but the USB-UIRT device itself can do so.

This issue is to track implementation of an enhancement that allows these devices to blast a non-numeric tuning string.

I've implemented the change and tested with a USB-UIRT blaster. Other devices that "canMacroTune" are still limited to numeric-only.

Cool, thanks! I had swore we did a change for this decades ago when Digital TV came out...but I guess not.
