Some Transceiver models have multiple OmniRig types. For example, the distributed INI files for OmniRig has the following:

• IC-7100
  • IC-7100-DATA-FIL1
  • IC-7100
  • IC-7100e4-DATA
  • IC-7100e4
• IC-7300
  • IC-7300-DATA
  • IC-7300
• IC-7600
  • IC-7600
  • IC-7600v2-DATA
  • IC-7600v2
• IC-7610
  • IC-7610-DATA-FIL1
  • IC-7610-DATA
  • IC-7610
• IC-7700
  • IC-7700
  • IC-7700v2-DATA
  • IC-7700v2
• IC-7850
  • IC-7850-DATA-FIL1
  • IC-7850-DATA
  • IC-7850
• IC-7851
  • IC-7851-DATA-FIL1
  • IC-7851-DATA
  • IC-7851
• IC-9700
  • IC-9700-DATA
  • IC-9700-SAT
  • IC-9700

Using any of the OmniRig variants requires the use of the program's discouraged -f flag.

It would be safer if the check for the transceiver model would accept them by allowing the transceiver model name to be a prefix of the OmniRig name.

Listen to CustomReply event to see if the CustomCommand was successfully executed by OmniRig and do some nice error handling/messaging if it isn't.

This requires setting up a COM client event sink. I've gave it an initial trial in the OmniRigEvent branch but haven't been successful so far. I just don't know how to set up the sink properly. Help on setting up the COM sink is welcome and greatly appreciated.

OmniRig stays in memory after the program finishes. The code is apparently not releasing all references to OmniRig and the COM server does not shutdown.
