#!/usr/bin/python -u # The -u option turns off block buffering of python output. This assures # that output streams to stdout when output happens. # # Module: ft991.py # # Description: This module contains tables for translating common transceiver # settings to FT991 CAT parameters. Low level serial # communication functions are also handled by this module. In # particular this module handles: # 1. Instantiating a serial connection object # 2. Sending character strings to the serial port # 3. Reading characters from the serial port # 4. Parsing and formatting of FT991 commands # 5. Translating radio operating parameters to CAT # commands, i.e., CTCSS tones. # # Copyright 2019 by Jeff Owrey, Intravisions.com # This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
