HI Nate,

This is a note from "Jug", WA6MBZ.
I have been working with Dave Freese in helping
him as a beta tester on flrig and fldigi.

Unfortunately, we have found that the hamlib
routines for the Ten Tec OMNI VII, model 588,
are way off of base.

More unfortunate than that is the fact that the 

programmers reference manual that Ten Tec
provides is also way off of base.  Some of the
commands are actually backwards.
One good example of this are the S-meter
commands.  If you follow their instructions,
you end up with a full S-meter reading with
no signal present and a near zero reading 

with a strong signal present.

I don't have a complete list of the errors, 

but you might be able to contact Dave Freese,
w1hkj, via email:  w1hkj <at> w1hkj.com.
