C#, .NET Standard based CAT control library.
I am targeting .Net Standard so that the assembly may be used with .Net Core or the .Net framework.
I'm starting with the FT818, I then plan on adding my ID-4100a, and TH-D74A.
If you wish to help let me know, or create a pull request. I'm not a pro developer, just a hack that normally builds small tools for himself.
Ideas on how to do this are appreciated!
Yes, there's Hamlib, and yes there's HamLibSharp.

I don't speak C++ and PInvoke is nasty.
That being said, there's also not a pure .Net (C#) CAT control lib out there that I know of.
The project is in an early very phase. The following is in no particular order, except the IRadio bit.
-
Implement an IRadio interface.
-
Settle on how the radios and commands are defined.
JSON?
Or just use a .cs file (current)?
-
Need to support opening / using an arbitrary number of radios.
RigControl can do 2.
-
Fully support asynchronous operations.
There's some handy events exposed by .net for data received on the Serial Port.
-
Add support for remote sharing of serial ports.
-
Implemtment the flrig control protocol.
Use this in place of flrig if desired.
-
Maybe implement AGWPE?
-
Implement the ability to run as a service.
-
Implement CAT and CIV control.
This will come with the first Icom radio implemented I figure.
I've switched radios, so I have a Yaesu FT991a, Baofeng BF-T1, WLN KD-C1, Baofeng UV-5x3, TH-D72a, FT-2DR and an D878UV.
