Going down N1MM's published list, the ones a contest operator would miss:
| | |
|---|---|
| `{LASTEXCH}` | what the last station sent, built from the boxes the contest asks for |
| `{ROVERQTH}` | where a rover is now |
| `{TIME}`, `{DATE}`, `{TIMEGMT}`, `{DATEGMT}` | the clock and the calendar |
| `{ESC}`, `{CTRL-A}` to `{CTRL-Z}` | the control characters a TNC reads as commands |
| `{CTRLHOME}` | the cursor back in the callsign box |
| `{F1}` to `{F12}` | another of this radio's keys, where `{CTRLF1}` is the other radio's |
| `{CQ}` | makes any key a CQ key: it starts running and carries alternating CQ on |
| `{DIGQTCS}`, `{DIGQTCR}` | opens the WAE QTC window the way asked for |
| `{CLEARRIT}` | the receive offset back to zero, which is rigctld's `J 0` |
| `{FORCELOG}` | logs what is in the boxes, holes and all |
`{FORCELOG}` is the one that gives something up. `LogContact` refuses an entry
that is short or holds a value the contest will not take, so that a caller who
has not checked cannot log nonsense; `LogContactAnyway` is the way past it,
because a contact in the log with a hole in it can be filled in afterwards and
one that was never logged cannot. It still needs a callsign, and the status
line says the row will need fixing before the log goes in.
A key that names itself would send for ever, so a key sending another key
ignores the macro a second time down.
What is still passed over is written down in the README and unfinished.md.
Advanced voicing is the one that matters: N1MM says a callsign or a serial by
playing a recording per letter out of `LettersFiles`, which is why `!` and `#`
say nothing on phone here and why F5 is empty in N1MM's own SSB file too. The
three packet BBS date formats are passed over because there is nothing here to
check a guess at them against.

Split. RadioState carries a transmit frequency, zero meaning the radio
transmits where it listens, so split is not a second flag that can disagree
with it. The contact stores it in N1MM's QSX column, the entry window shows
14008.00 followed by the transmit frequency, and the bandmap draws a red bar
there. SetSplitAsync sets the frequency before turning split on, or a radio
last split somewhere else transmits there.
Every command now goes out with a + in front, asking rigctld for its extended
answer: named fields ended by an RPRT line. The raw answer is bare values with
no terminator, so the client had to know how many lines each command returns —
there was a `command == "m"` special case for the one that returns two. Add a
third such command and get the count wrong once, and every later answer is read
against the wrong command for the rest of the session. RigctldReply parses the
extended form and is tested on its own.
A radio that cannot do split answers RPRT -11. That is an answer, not a broken
connection, so the frequency and mode it did report still count.
Two radios. Settings hold a list rather than one host and port, with the single
radio an older settings file holds carried into it. Both radios are read and
both show on the bandmap, the active one green and the other orange, but only
the active one drives the entry window: the second radio moving must not drag
the operator off the station being worked. Ctrl+Tab swaps, and a contact
records which radio made it.
This is not a full two-radio operating position — no second entry window, no
alternating CQ, no audio switching. It is two radios read and logged correctly.
Tested against a stand-in for rigctld over a real socket, and looked at under
Xvfb with two fake radios, one of them split.

Nonemm.Session holds what the operator is typing, what the log says about it and
what happens on Enter, with no UI toolkit behind it. Nonemm.Rig talks to
hamlib's rigctld and reconnects on its own. Nonemm.Spotting reads DX cluster
lines into a bandmap that drops spots after an hour.
