HRD's rig control component was very poorly written. I gave Rick and other involved persons specific documentation of HRD sending the same command multiple times less than 1 msec apart as well as serial logs showing continuous serial transmission even when the polling rate was set longer than 500 msec. I have not had time to evaluate the 5.1 "fixes" but I suspect Rick will need to do a nearly complete rewrite of the serial port/CAT controls if the problems are to be fixed. 73, ...
