tk5 for Debian
--------------

On Bob's website at http://parnass.org/ you can find utilities for various
scanners and receivers. If needed I can package them for you. However, please
do not send me a request unless you can actually test the package on a
live receiver.

The README for this package is in /usr/share/tk5, but you can also open it
from the help menu.

To be able to access the serial port on your system it is best if you add
yourself to dialout group. First, check if the serial port is owned by
group dialout:

$ ls -al /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 2006-04-17 11:39 /dev/ttyS0

Next, as root add yourself to the dialout group using the 'vigr' command,
e.g. after adding user pg4i, the line looks like this:
 
dialout:x:20:pg4i

Dan Jacobson says:
In case one loses the paper IC-R5 manual, note no special cloning
buttons need to be pressed on the R5 to use tk5. Just turn it on.
