Mike,
how would calling rig_set_powerstat before calling rig_close stop Hamlib
unilaterally turning on some rigs. Also since only a few rigs can be
turned on by CAT commands the whole premiss that there is some new
assumption that the rig is turned on before Hamlib can do a rig_open is
bogus. What's wrong with an error return from rig_open that the
application can deal with, including calling rig_set_powerstat if it
wants to. Libraries that control hardware should not do things that have
not been asked for. At least make this new and unnecessary behaviour
optional and controllable by the client that is using the Hamlib
library, it's not your job to. Do things that are asked for, making it
possible to do such things when asked for by the client is fine.

The assumption now is that if you ask hamlib to open the rig than the
rig must be running...so if it's not turned on a power up is attempted.
WSJT-X expects a running rig too.
I had numerous requests for this capability from people running remote
operations. They didn't seem to have any problems turning their rig
off but they were using rigctl to do it.
The only time this is done is when the rig is opened.
So...if you turn off the rig while WSJT-X is running I guess WSJT-X is
reopening the rig causing the powerup again.
You could put in a powerdown checkbox and just call set_powerstat
before you call rig_close. That should work.

Mike,
I think you mean "set the frequency".
Any chance of not having Hamlib unilaterally messing with the rig
power on/off. A config option or just don't do it and leave it to the
application to decide if this is appropriate?

Do you have "Monitor returns to last used frequency" turned on?
That will cause the rig to wake up as it has to get the frequency.

Personally, I do not need/want WSJTx to turn my radio on, or off,
when starting or closing. But, it is no big problem for me either way
and might be useful for some. I just thought it odd that WSJTx tries
to turn the radio on when when it closes and had not noticed it doing
either previously.
