Commands passed to rigctld
I would like to use rigctld in combination with VarAC. Unfortunately whenever the frequency is switched the bandwidth is also changed to the smallest filter available. Running rigctld in verbose mode shows that rigctld receives three commands - Frequency - Mode - Bandwidth The log shows that the filter bandwidth should be set to 0 which results in selecting the smallest filter (250 Hz) available. This effect does not show up if VarAC is configured using CAT rather than Hamlib. I wonder whether this is a problem with VarAC or with rigctld.

Hi. The hamlib command for changing mode is "M PKTUSB 0\n"
The value 0: This is a special flag in Hamlib that tells the radio to use its default passband for that specific mode.
Maybe this is what causes this ? what other option do you want to see ?
I can use -1 which tells the radio not to chang the bandwidth at all. do you want to try this out ?
