Thomas:
I haven't played with the commands although I do have a Yaesu FT-857. I found a link to a Arduinio library for the Yaesu commands at

Google should find the Icom specs. I don't know if they are different from the KX3 or not. Doesn't matter which one as long as it is one all of the rig control programs support.

Dave,

Do you have a link to a spec of the Yaesu or Icom commands? Is it different from the k3/kx3 protocol?

      Why not use either the Yaesu or the Icom commands?  Then it's
    compatable with all the remote control software.

        I am proposing that we write a set of commands that can be
        used to tune and control the minima.
        Each command line starts with a letter, it is optionally
        followed by a digits and it ends with a new line.
        Some commands receive a response. The response can be in
        multiple lines. Every line starts with a letter followed by
        zero or more numbers separated by commas.

        So, here is a tentative list:

        Requests:
        "s\n" : asks for the status of the transceiver. The status can
        be several lines of text until two repetitive new lines "\n\n"
        "t14200000\n" places the Minima in transmit mode at 14200KHz.
        If the frequency is not supplied, it transmits at the current
        frequency.
        "r\n" puts the minima into receive mode at the current frequency
        "r7040000\n" puts the minima to receive at 7.040 MHz
        "f" fetches the current frequency
        "x115420000\n" sets the internal crystal frequency to 115.42 MHz
        "m\n" puts minima into morse code mode. the following
        characters are all sent out as morse until a new line (morse
        code doesn't have a newline!)
        "c1\n" puts out a carrier in tx mode  (to tune-up etc. at the
        current frequency)
        "c0\n" switches off the carrier.
        "u1\n" upper side band
        "u0\n" lower side band.

        any more?
