Is there any change on interface?
If not, users may already use that version by replacing the log4om default version in the roaming folder?

You've got Hamlib compiled into the code, right?

Should only take a recompile....be sure to grab the latest from the master repository as we are fixing bugs all the time.

Hi Mike, no.
Log4OM is using the hamlib on the roaming folder (help -> open configuration folder -> HAMLIB directory)

You can update this folder to have the most recent Hamlib installed.
I will make this folder "user overridable" in the future to point on your default hamlib installation, if any

Beware: that would work only if Hamlib 4 is retro-compatible with version 3.

4.0 Seems work fine...replaced the hamlib_riglist.csv with the attached.

I'm going to be releasing hamlib 4.1 that has some important fixes in the next few days so you may want to consider putting that in the next release of Log4OM.

Mike,
Is Hamlib ever going to handle both VFO's and more than one radio?

Keep well and stay safe

I does handle both VFOs if the rig is capable.

It's actually better to run rigctld in vfo mode (the -v or --vfo switch).
Then you do
f VFOA
f VFOB
As long as VFOB returns a frequency and not an error you're OK...works for 99% of rigs.

As for more than 1 radio the way you have implemented it you'd run another rigctld. If you had hamlib linked in it would just be another rig_open. Nobody has ever asked for rigtctld to handle more than 1 rig...feasible to do I suppose but not likely to be done due to no demand when multiple rigctld's does the job.

I must have a 1% rig because that does not work with my 7300, no matter I only needed it to do the same as Omnirig and display both vfo's in the display and easily switch between radios for SO2R
