'''
Frequency tracker:
Listens on a TCP port for SDRangel reverse API requests.
- When the request comes from a FreqTracker channel it gets the FreqTracker channel frequency shift
- When the request comes from another channel it records the difference between the FreqTracker frequency shift and
this channel frequency shift. Then it will periodically send a center frequency change request to this channel with
the FreqTracker channel frequency shift plus the difference thus achieving the locking of this channel to the FreqTracker
channel frequency.
- If the reply from the channel returns an error it will un-register the channel.
In the SDRangel instance you must activate the reverse API of the FreqTracker channel and the controlled channel(s)
reverse API giving the address and port of this instance of the script. You have to click on the small grey box at the
top left of the plugin GUI to open the channel details dialog where the reverse API can be configured.
