Description

Request preparation
  • I used an AI assistant to help structure this request
  • I checked for existing issues covering the same feature
What would you like?

Add an option to use the TX-REQ on the back of the radio as a "Carrier Request", this would allow those who use the LDG AT-PRO Line of tuners to make the radio output a carrier when the tune button is pressed on the Tuner.
If the function of TX-REQ cannot be changed, Then maybe via a USB Bit Cable.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the TX-REQ handling and the existing USB or tuner-input paths, then determine how a Carrier Request should trigger transmission. Done means the LDG AT-PRO tune action can request a carrier without breaking existing TX-REQ behavior, with coverage for the selected input path.
