OmniRig names the CW modes by sideband, CW_U and CW_L, while QLog uses the Hamlib meaning of normal CW and its reverse. Both drivers mapped CW_L to CW, which suits recent Icoms but puts Yaesu and Kenwood rigs in CW-L/CW-R whenever QLog selects CW, from the mode box or a spot. No fixed mapping is right for every rig, and the issue ruled out a new setting, so the driver now asks the rig file OmniRig has loaded for the rig. OmniRigRigFile finds it beside OmniRig 1, or in the user's profile for Omni-Rig V2, and checks whether its [pmCW_U] command selects the rig's normal CW (MD3/MD03, CI-V mode 03) or the reverse (MD7/MD07, 07), falling back to [pmCW_L]. SmartSDR's ZZMD has its own numbering and is read as such. Of the 162 rig files shipped with OmniRig 1, 84 put the normal CW on CW_U and now map the other way round; 41 put the reverse there and 37 are not recognised (binary protocols), and those keep the old mapping, so rigs that worked before are unaffected.

I reviewed the patch, but I would prefer to avoid parsing rig definition files and interpreting CAT commands in QLog. My suggestion:
This preserves the operator's CW choice without parsing INI files or adding a setting. It does not guarantee the rig's normal CW mode on first use, since OmniRig exposes sideband modes, not a universal What do you think? Would this address the issue in your setup? |

Thanks for looking at it. Yes, that solves my main case: on the FTdx101 CW_U is the normal CW, so it gets the right mode every time. One small suggestion: could the last CW mode be remembered per rig profile across restarts (stored internally, no new setting)? On the IC-705 the normal CW is CW_L, so with only a session memory it would start in CW-R after every QLog restart until I switch once on the rig. With the profile remembering it, that happens only the first time. Shall I rework the PR along these lines, or would you rather do it yourself? |

I'll rework the PR myself. Thanks! Please, do not close the PR. |

Fixes #347 without a new setting.
CW_L. On a Yaesu or Kenwood that selects CW-R.[pmCW_U]selects normal CW (MD3/MD03, CI-V03) or the reverse.
