Implement TCP and UDP protocol to talk to Flex radios

Instead of using the CAT connection, connect to the Flex radio via the TCP and UDP interfaces.

This allows finer control of the radio plus the ability to put spots and bandpass entries on the PamAdapter in SmartSDR.

This requires a bit of retooling to the way the radio is interfaced. Right now, the radio control and radio polling are a series of case statements with all the code for all radios in two units. This should be changed so the main program calls an object such as

radio1 := new TRadio(rtIcom705, ctNetwork, connInfo); // connInfo is the IP address and port of the radio via Ethernet/WiFi
radio2 := new TRadio(rtFlex, ctNetwork, connInfo); // connInfo is IP address. if blank, tells object to search for a Flex
radio2 := new TRadio(rtElecraft, ctNetwork, null); // Since conInfo is blank, search the network for an Elecraft radio - K4 only to date.

OR

radio2 := new TRadio(rtK3,ctSerial,connInfo); // connInfo is the COM port, speed, etc of the serial connection.

Then to implement a new radio, we use a base TRadio object with a subclass of the specific radio type. So TIcom705 is an object of type TRadioIcom which is in turn an object of type TRadio.

Then to set the frequency on radio1, we just call radio1.SetFreq(14200000);

And the polling of the radio is done in a thread (as it is now) but that radio object is simply populated with the info we receive.

Note the Icom protocol network (UDP) protocol is implemented in two projects: https://gitlab.com/eliggett/wfview and https://github.com/nonoo/kappanhang

Now that a NetRadio object exists, this can be added. Note that TNetRadio is just that (for a networked radio). TNetRadio is derived from TObject (as opposed to a generic TRadio object). The code seems to be going that way so we can then have separate instances of TRadio with the type. But this is a longer term project.

Here is a WireShark capture of DXCommander connecting to a radio with a slice already active.

The sub commands are subscriptions so we subscribe to all messages about the slice and the TX.

When going from TX to RX, these two unsolicited commands are sent by the radio:

S0|interlock tx_client_handle=0x7BFF670D state=UNKEY_REQUESTED reason= source= tx_allowed=1 amplifier=0x30BC49FA
S0|interlock tx_client_handle=0x00000000 state=READY reason=AMP:TG source= tx_allowed=1 amplifier=

The last one of STATE=READY is what I would use to indicate the radio is receiving.

When going into TX, this is sent by the radio (assuming sub to tx and slice all):

The last one of STATE=TRANSMITTING is what I would use to change the radio state.

To be able to change bands, when the sub slice all commands is entered, one of the messages generates is as follows:

slice 0 in_use=1 sample_rate=24000 RF_frequency=28.530000 client_handle=0x2542FA71 index_letter=A rit_on=0 rit_freq=0 xit_on=0 xit_freq=0 rxant=ANT1 mode=USB wide=0 filter_lo=100 filter_hi=2800 step=100 step_list=1,10,50,100,500,1000,2000,3000 agc_mode=med agc_threshold=70 agc_off_level=10 pan=0x40000000 txant=ANT1 loopa=0 loopb=0 qsk=0 dax=0 dax_clients=0 lock=0 tx=1 active=1 audio_level=50 audio_pan=50 audio_mute=0 record=0 play=disabled record_time=0.0 anf=0 anf_level=0 nr=0 nr_level=0 nb=0 nb_level=50 wnb=0 wnb_level=0 apf=0 apf_level=0 squelch=1 squelch_level=20 diversity=0 diversity_parent=0 diversity_child=0 diversity_index=1342177293 ant_list=ANT1,ANT2,RX_A,RX_B,XVTA,XVTB mode_list=LSB,USB,AM,CW,DIGL,DIGU,SAM,FM,NFM,DFM,RTTY fm_tone_mode=OFF fm_tone_value=67.0 fm_repeater_offset_freq=0.000000 tx_offset_freq=0.000000 repeater_offset_dir=SIMPLEX fm_tone_burst=0 fm_deviation=5000 dfm_pre_de_emphasis=0 post_demod_low=300 post_demod_high=3300 rtty_mark=2125 rtty_shift=170 digl_offset=2210 digu_offset=1500 post_demod_bypass=0 rfgain=0 tx_ant_list=ANT1,ANT2,XVTA,XVTB

In that message, is the pan=0x40000000 parameter. 0x400000000 is the pan adapter handle. That handle can then be used to change the band with the following command:

display pan s 0x40000000 band=15

Thanks to Alan WA9WUD on the Flex Community SmartSDR API message board for that insight.

I had to so some experimenting to get the class structure just right to implement radios generically. I made a small project to demonstrate. It is called RadioClassFactory and it is available here.

It would be good for any TR4W developers to take a look and play with the demo to understand how these radios classes work (limited to the network radios but nothing says it could not also be done for the serial port radios too).
