I believe perhaps we should have "Default" as an option on Data Bits,

everybody understands.
Is there any reason this won't work?
Hi Mike,
yes that is a good idea. I would omit the "Force Control Lines" part as
that already has a default and Hamlib doesn't really have a default for
those since it is interface hardware dependent.
The Handshake one is a bit tricky as many rigs that use RTS/CTS
handshaking depend on a rig menu setting. Their factory default is
usually with handshaking enabled because the other option is often PTT
via RTS and that could cause damage if the user plugs in a standard
RS-232 connection (could key the transmitter).
