Well, it works.  I can get scanning despite the error messages
indicated below .  When I choose hamlib/TS2000 on fldigi , Fldigi
loses frequency read-out BUT the server begins to scan as per the
freqs.txt  file., scan works as advertised.  So I am not sure why
fldigi loses frequency readout but I suspect the TS2000 xml file needs
some work.
