[Xastir] Updating the displayed Rig detail

[David Ranch]

Hello Everyone,

I've been noticing in the "Station Info" output of Xastir that it 
doesn't properly show the rig type of most modern APRS radios. Looking 
in src/db.c, there is a section for Mic-E data that recognizes Kenwood 
TM-D700 and TH-D7 but none of the recent Yaesu radios (VX8, FT1, FTM100, 
FTM350, FTM400, etc).  Hessu, who runs aprs.fi and open sources his code 
has this file:

    https://github.com/hessu/aprs-deviceid/blob/master/tocalls.yaml

This file seems to be an excellent starting point to add support for 
various new APRS radios from Yaesu, Byonics, etc for both MIC-E and 
TO-CALL formats.  I haven't really written much C code in a very long 
time but I'm curious if the current code in db.c is the right approach 
to start adding additional radios?  I'm also curious if it would be a 
better, long term approach to try to bring copies of this YAML file into 
the Xastir sources and it would ingest the data and "do the right 
things" with it. Obviously that would be more complicated and might not 
be worth it.

Thoughts?
