I think you doesn't - but it doesn't matter. In my version
(hamlib 3.0) is same the code...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this is what required.

yes, because there was a bug in Tlf, as I yesterday described: if
the Tlf had started, and read the freq of current VFO, then if
you switch the other VFO, Tlf looses the connection with RIG.

Now Thomas fixed this error, so there is a new line in Tlf
source:

https://github.com/Tlf/tlf/commit/63983b5a9ec77a801603b9d17d5170964d207bee

-           retval = rig_get_freq(my_rig, RIG_VFO_CURR, &rigfreq);
+           retval = rig_get_vfo(my_rig, &vfo); /* initialiue RIG_VFO_CURR */
+           if (retval == RIG_OK)
+               retval = rig_get_freq(my_rig, RIG_VFO_CURR, &rigfreq); 

as you can see, here is the new function call.

yes, that's the point.

But.

Now I fixed this problem, so if in case of any RIG, if that
doesn't support the rig_get_vfo(), and hamlib gives not RIG_OK,
but RIG_ENIMPL ("function not implemented, but will be") or
RIG_ENAVAIL ("function not available"), then Tlf goes away
without any error.

Pleas grab the new version of Tlf-WARC:

https://github.com/airween/tlf/tree/warc

or:

https://github.com/airween/tlf/archive/warc.zip

and try that again.


I've checked this version with my RIG with direct, and through
rigctld, and it works correctly.


Hope that's fixed now.
