chore: release v0.23.2

The 0.22.7/0.22.8 breakage came from a Xiegu-reported fault being fixed
inside the Yaesu and Kenwood backends. The lesson is structural: nothing
a backend does may be steered by another backend's report or another
backend's setting.

The lower-lines checkbox introduced for 0.22.9 was still one shared key
applied to both Yaesu and Kenwood — the same reflex in miniature. It is
now cat.yaesu.low_dtr_rts and cat.kenwood.low_dtr_rts, each checkbox in
its backend's own settings block, each wired only to its backend. The
shared key never shipped, so nothing needs migrating.

+# ACOM built-in ATU — what we know, and why OpsLog does not drive it
+
+Session of 2026-08-02 on F4BPO's friend's **ACOM 500S**, serial link, telemetry
+trace. Written down so nobody repeats the work. **Conclusion first: the tuner
+cannot be started over the serial link, and the attempt to work around that was
+abandoned.**
+
+## The tuner is PA state 8
+
+Frame byte 3's high nibble is the PA status. ACOM's own list (recovered by the
+ACOM-Controller project) has no entry for 8; it is the antenna tuner. Confirmed
+twice, front-panel TUNE, with the byte-level trace running:
+
+```
+14:47:20.745  state 8 step 0   ← TUNE pressed. err=FF
+14:47:22.588  operator keys a carrier (FT-891, FM, 31 W, 3.6358 MHz)
+14:47:24.006  state 8 step 2
+14:47:25.201  state 8 step 4
+14:47:27.457  state 8 step 5
+14:47:30.092  state 5 STANDBY  ← accord finished
+```
+
+Byte 3's **low** nibble is a step counter through the accord: `0 → 2 → 4 → 5`.
+Step 0 means *armed, waiting for RF* — in the first of the two runs the
+amplifier sat there **30 seconds** untouched before the operator transmitted.
+
+`paStatusNames[8] = "TUNE"` in acom.go is the only thing kept from all of this.
+
+## The command does not exist in the state-command family
+
+Every action byte of `55 81 08 02 00 XX 00 CHK` was tried, each one from a
+**verified** STANDBY (an earlier sweep was worthless because its second code
+parked the amp in SERVICE, where it silently refuses everything — 17 false
+negatives). Result:
+
+| byte | effect |
+|------|--------|
+| 0x01, 0x02 | **reboot the amplifier** — it prints `AMPLIFIER: ACOM 500S / HELLO ME…` |

+| 0x05 | → STANDBY (state 5) |
+| 0x06 | → OPERATE (state 6) |

+| 0x03, 0x07..0x09, 0x0B..0x18 | nothing, state unchanged |
+
+The action byte **is** the target PA state — four independent confirmations.
+Which makes 0x08 the obvious candidate for TUNE. **It was tried, from a verified
+STANDBY, and does nothing.** State 8 is reachable from the front panel only.
+
+Going further would mean varying the other bytes of the frame. That is a large
+space, and 0x01/0x02 prove that bad values reboot a 500 W amplifier. Not worth
+it.
+
+## The workaround that was built and removed
+
+Since the amp waits, armed, for a carrier, OpsLog could watch for state 8 and
+supply one: memorise the mode, drop the power, switch to FM, key the PTT, wait
+for state 8 to clear, unkey, restore. It was implemented (`acomtune.go`, opt-in,
+Settings → Amplifier) and **removed** after the first hardware test:
+
+- the power change did not take effect, and
+- **the PTT was not released when the tune finished.**
+
+A logger that can leave a transceiver keyed is not acceptable, and the whole
+thing was scaffolding around a protocol we do not actually control. Removed at
+the operator's request: *"je veux qu'OpsLog soit solide et ça c'est de la
+bidouille."*
+
+If it is ever revisited, the unexplained part is why the tune-finished detection
+did not fire — `anyAcomTuning()` polled `StateRaw == 8` every 200 ms and should
+have seen the drop to STANDBY. Suspect the status snapshot, not the amplifier.
+
+## Loose ends worth knowing
+
+- **Frame byte 6 is a multiplexer.** The tail of the frame changes meaning with
+  it: `0x93` = bytes 48/49 carry the TX frequency in kHz (`62 1B` = 7010 while
+  the rig was on 7.010 MHz), `0x9D` = something else. Byte 70 looked like a
+  tuner flag for a while purely because of this — it toggles on its own several
+  times a minute. Do not read tail bytes without checking byte 6.
+- **Byte 5 bit 0x80 alternates frame to frame.** It is a sequence/parity bit,
+  not a command acknowledgement.
+- **Byte 66 (the error code) shows 0x14 / 0x8E / 0x69 / 0x0F during a normal
+  tune and during transmission.** `errText` renders those as "ERROR — see
+  display" and "Remove drive power", so an ACOM operator probably sees a false
+  alarm. This was never confirmed with the amplifier in OPERATE (it was in
+  STANDBY throughout, where drive genuinely is an error) — worth a look with a
+  clean log before touching the table.

+## Consequences
+
+- **A free QRZ account can never fill the locator, the coordinates, the zones
+  or the e-mail.** If someone reports a logger doing it on a free account, they
+  are either using HamQTH (free, returns a 6-character `grid`) or they hold an
+  XML subscription without realising it — the QRZ.com account and the "XML
+  Logbook Data" subscription are sold separately. `SubExp` in the session block
+  settles it in one request.
+- **Profile edits take a few minutes to reach the XML feed.** Changing the grid
+  on the website and looking the callsign up immediately returns the OLD value,
+  which looks exactly like a stale cache. Re-test after a few minutes before
+  suspecting the logger. (This cost an hour on 2026-08-02.)
+
+## Fields OpsLog does not use yet
+
+`qrz.go` maps call, name, addr1/2, zip, state, county, country, grid, lat, lon,
+dxcc, cqzone, ituzone, cont, email, qslmgr and image. Left on the table:
+
+- **`geoloc`** — `user` when the operator entered the position by hand, versus a
+  geocoded value derived from the postal address. This is a direct statement of
+  how much the coordinates and the locator can be trusted, and it is exactly
+  the question the grid-precision rule in App.tsx tries to answer by comparing
+  string lengths. Worth wiring if the locator ever misbehaves again.
+- **`eqsl` / `mqsl` / `lotw`** — the station's QSL preferences as flags, more
+  reliable than parsing the free-text `qslmgr`.
+- `nickname` / `name_fmt`, `class`, `moddate`, `bio`.

+
+### Band-follow (amp on a second COM port)
+
+An ACOM or SPE that normally polls the radio for its frequency can follow
+OpsLog instead: OpsLog answers the amp's polls **as a Kenwood rig** on a second

 - **TCI** — for TCI backends.
 
+**ESC** stops CW on whichever engine is active; typing a callsign aborts a

+if the macro contains `<LOGQSO>`.

 Record **F1–F6** voice messages and transmit them. Set the audio devices, PTT
 method and gains in Settings → Audio.
 
-- **PTT** method: CAT, RTS, DTR, or none (VOX).
-- **Test PTT** keys the rig briefly. On CAT/OmniRig the key is held ~1.5 s so the

-Continuous rolling capture. On **Log QSO** the contact is saved to a per-QSO WAV
-(`CALL_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.wav`), mixing RX + mic. Configure the recordings folder,
-format (WAV / MP3), pre-roll and gains in Settings → Audio.
+Continuous rolling capture. On **Log QSO** the contact is saved to a per-QSO
+WAV/MP3 (`CALL_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS`), with pre-roll. With automatic recording off, a
+**red dot** beside the callsign records the contact by hand.
+
+A recording can be **replayed on the air** to the station being worked, like a
+voice-keyer message — with its **own level**, separate from the voice keyer (a
+receiver line-out needs far less gain than a microphone). The play button
+becomes a **stop** button while it transmits. Hidden on CW.
+
+## CW decoder (RX audio → text)
+
+**Tools → CW decoder** (or the ear button) decodes received CW while the mode
+is CW: adaptive envelope with noise squelch, per-character dit/dah
+classification, follows 12–40 WPM and sloppy fists, rides QSB. Shows WPM /
+pitch / level, locks onto the FlexRadio CW pitch automatically, and clicking a
+decoded word fills the callsign. Clean-to-moderate signals decode solidly;
+weak-signal pileups remain CW Skimmer territory.
 
 ## RX audio monitor (USB rigs)
 
 Settings → Audio → **Listen to radio** pipes the rig's received audio (its "USB

+# Kenwood and Xiegu (native CAT)
+
+## Kenwood (USB, network)
+
+A native backend talks straight to a **TS-590 / TS-890 / TS-990 / TS-2000**
+over its serial port — frequency, mode, VFO, split and PTT, no OmniRig in
+between. **Elecraft K3/K4** speak the same dialect. Pick **Kenwood (USB,
+network)** in Settings → CAT.
+
+- **Serial**: COM port + baud.
+- **Network**: give a `host:port` instead — for a serial bridge (ser2net, an
+  Ethernet-serial adapter). *Not* the radio's own RJ45, which speaks Kenwood's
+  KNS/ARCP protocol.
+- Split is detected from FR/FT when the radio omits it from its status frame.
+- The backend was tested end-to-end against a TS-2000 emulator and reports
+  useful errors: a port that opens but stays silent is distinguished from one
+  sending data that never answers (the error quotes what arrived).
+
+## Xiegu (G90, X6100, X6200, X5105)
+
+These radios speak CI-V but with a **reduced command set** (no scope, no DSP
+block, no data mode), so they have their own backend — pick **Xiegu (USB)** in
+Settings → CAT. Frequency, mode, split and PTT.
+
+### PTT on a G90 — read this
+
+A **G90 ignores the CI-V PTT command**. That has three consequences:
+
+1. In the Xiegu settings, choose **how the rig is keyed**: CI-V command, RTS or
+   DTR — pick the hardware line your interface wires to PTT.
+2. WSJT-X & co transmit through OpsLog's **shared CAT link** (Hamlib NET rigctl
+   `127.0.0.1:4532` — see [[CAT Control]]): OpsLog converts the PTT request
+   into the hardware line. This is the supported path and it works.
+3. **WSJT-X + OmniRig will NOT transmit** a G90: OmniRig sends PTT as a CI-V
+   command, which the radio ignores. Either use the native Xiegu backend +
+   rigctl sharing, or configure the PTT line (RTS/DTR) inside OmniRig itself.
+
+### Keying on connect
+
+Behind an interface that carries PTT on a modem line (e.g. a DE-19), a G90 used
+to go **straight into transmit when OpsLog connected** — Windows raises DTR and
+RTS when a serial port opens. The Xiegu backend now drops both lines on
+connect, then drives only the line you selected for keying.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Both backends refuse a CI-V/CAT frame read at the wrong offset, so a garbled
+  answer can no longer turn into a phantom frequency.

 ## CAT
 
 - **Radio not connecting** — check the backend fields (COM port + baud for USB;
-  IP/credentials for network). OpsLog connects non-blocking, so it won't freeze —
-  watch the CAT status.
-- **Icom: no CAT at all over USB** — the CI-V address must match the radio; pick
-  your **model** from the dropdown (it sets the address) and set *CI-V USB Echo
-  Back* **OFF** on the rig.
-- **Icom scope blank on an IC-7300** — this was a bug where the scope decoder was
-  chosen from the configured CI-V address; it now uses the model detected from the
-  CI-V ID, so a single-scope rig run at address `0x98` decodes correctly. Update
-  to the latest build.
-- **Icom attenuator button does nothing** — the dB steps are model-specific; make
-  sure the right model is selected (IC-7300 = 20 dB, IC-7610 = 6/12/18 dB).
+  IP/credentials for network). The CAT log line carries the error explaining a
+  disconnection.
+- **"Serial port busy" in the log** — another program holds the COM port
+  (WSJT-X, MSHV, another logger configured for direct CAT). Only one program
+  can own the port: let OpsLog hold it and point the others at **Hamlib NET
+  rigctl 127.0.0.1:4532** (Settings → CAT → Share CAT). Two masters on one
+  CI-V bus also cause garbled frames and erratic behaviour.
+- **The radio transmits as soon as OpsLog connects** — your interface reads DTR
+  or RTS as PTT. Xiegu drops the lines automatically; on Yaesu and Kenwood
+  enable the *lower DTR/RTS on connect* option. (It is off by default because
+  other interfaces stop transmitting with the lines low.)
+- **WSJT-X won't key a Xiegu G90 through OmniRig** — a G90 ignores the CI-V PTT
+  command. Use the native Xiegu backend (which keys RTS/DTR) + rigctl sharing,
+  or set the PTT line inside OmniRig. See [[Kenwood and Xiegu]].
+- **OmniRig frequency frozen / wrong VFO** — set **VFO to read** (A or B) in
+  the OmniRig backend settings; some rig files declare the wrong VFO.
+- **"OmniRig not found" with OmniRig running** — one of the two runs as
+  administrator and the other doesn't. Start both the same way.
+- **Icom: no CAT at all over USB** — the CI-V address must match the radio;
+  pick your **model** from the dropdown (it sets the address) and set *CI-V USB
+  Echo Back* **OFF** on the rig.
+- **A radio that answers oddly** — enable the **protocol trace** (Settings →
+  CAT): every frame to and from the rig lands in the log as hex, which turns a
+  guess into a diagnosis.
 
 ## Remote Icom
 
 - **Login rejected** → wrong Network User1 name/password.
 - **Can't bind local port** → the Icom **Remote Utility is still running** —
   close it.
-- **Link drops with the scope on** → receive-side retransmit should hold it; if
-  not, check network quality and the `icom net:` log lines. See

+  reconnects on its own; if it doesn't, check the `icom net:` log lines. See
   [[Remote Icom over the Internet]].
 
 ## FlexRadio
 
-- **A control reads 0 / stale at startup** — some SmartSDR status fields use short
-  names (e.g. the TX filter is reported as `lo`/`hi`, not `filter_low/high`). If a
-  value never populates, capture the `Flex: … status` log line and report it.
-- **Antenna wrong band on a spot click** — fixed: `SetFrequency`/`SetMode` update
-  the slice cache immediately so the panel and the Ultrabeam follow don't chase a
-  stale frequency.

+# Yaesu (native CAT)
+
+A native backend talks to an **FTDX10 / FTDX101** (and close relatives) directly
+over the rig's USB/serial port — no OmniRig. Pick **Yaesu (USB)** in
+Settings → CAT: COM port + baud (FTDX10/101 default 38400).
+
+Frequency, mode, VFO A/B (MAIN/SUB on the 101), split and PTT are covered, and
+OpsLog **follows the VFO you are actually on** — the displayed frequency, the
+logged frequency and the VFO a cluster spot tunes. Split is worked out from
+which VFO transmits, so simplex on the SUB receiver is not shown as split.
+
+## The Yaesu console
+
+With the native backend connected, a console tab (and a Main-view pane) gives:
+
+- **S / PO / SWR meters** — power in watts on a curve measured against the rig's
+  own display, SWR as the ratio itself, with peak-hold so they stay readable
+  between CW words or SSB syllables.
+- **Band and mode buttons** — CW, RTTY, DIGI and PSK show their sideband; click
+  the active button again to switch it.
+- AF / RF / squelch, AGC, IPO–AMP1–AMP2, 6/12/18 dB attenuator, NB, DNR, narrow
+  filter, power, mic gain, VOX, split and **ATU tune**.
+- **SPLIT** places the transmit VFO up 1 kHz on CW/data, up 5 kHz on phone.
+- In CW the mic gain and VOX give way to a **CW card**: keyer speed, break-in
+  and ZIN (zero-in).
+
+Sliders only respond to the mouse wheel after you click them, so scrolling the
+panel can't change the transmit power by accident.
+
+## CW with the rig's own keyer
+
+A CW engine sends your macros with the radio's internal keyer (CAT `KY`) — no
+WinKeyer, no second cable. Pick **Yaesu (rig keyer)** in Settings → CW keyer.
+
+- Works on the **FTDX101 / FT-991A / FT-710** family.
+- An **FTDX10 does not accept it** (`KY` is refused, `DAKY` doesn't help) —
+  OpsLog says so and points to the **serial DTR keyer** on the rig's second COM
+  port (the *Serial port* CW engine), which works. See [[Audio and Keyers]].
+- CW speed is one setting everywhere: the console slider, the CW panel and the
+  rig's front panel stay in agreement.
+
+## Notes
+
+- A Yaesu that is switched off is reported as such (opening the port is not
+  "connected").
+- If your interface goes into transmit the moment OpsLog connects, enable the
+  **lower DTR/RTS on connect** option — see [[CAT Control]].
