-m, --model=id

Select radio model number. See model list provided by rigctl.

-r, --rig-file=device

Use device as the file name of the radio to operate on.

-s, --serial-speed=baud

Set serial speed to baud rate. Uses maximal rig speed as default.

-c, --civaddr=id

Use id as the CI-V address to communicate with the rig. Only for Icom rigs. NB: the id is in decimal, unless prefixed by 0x, in which case it is hexadecimal.

-p, --ptt-file=device

Use device as the file name of the Push-To-Talk device to operate on. This is only needed if the radio doesn't have legacy PTT control.

-p, --ptt-type=type

Use type device as the kind of the Push-To-Talk device to operate on. Supported types are RIG, DTR, RTS, PARALLEL, NONE. This is only needed if the radio doesn't have legacy PTT control.

Scans frequencies between 14MHz and 14.200MHz with 50KHz step on a TS850 and record VSWR measurements in file cswr. After completion, cswr file contains the following lines : 14000000 1.50 14050000 1.31 14100000 1.22 14150000 1.07 14200000 1.07

Result could then be ploted with gnuplot:
