Yes, already helping me find some more bugs.

I implemented all the groups from the "u-blox ZED-F9P Interface Description".
Later I'll check againt other 9-series doc.

A ton of constants.  I'm not familiar with a lot of it yet.

I think you want to look at:
        ubxtool -g CFG-TMODE
        ubxtool -g CFG-TP

Those are the old style config messages.

A new one happens, sometimes, when u-blox addeds features.

UBX-CFG-TMODE   protver 5, 6
UBX-CFG-TMODE2   protver 6, 7, 8 and 9

Or, sometimes they add a version number, or a type number, or both...

Yes, the single name -e are bulk commands.

Of course.  Turn off all binary:
        ubxtool -d BINARY

Then enable the ones you want.  That, of course, quickly gets very
complicated...  Expect to spend a few days in the manual to dig that
stuff out.

Even pigs can fly with suffcient thrust.

ubxtool could use a lot more output filtering options.  Since I prefer
my matrix raw, I'll leave that for someone else to send a patch.
