    So you have worked with Kenwood's engineering team? That's a good
    start. Many companies wouldn't even respond.

    Does this imply the TH-D7AG can't work with KISS properly? Will
    Kenwood release documentation so a driver for their faulty protocol
    can be written? Do you have engineering contacts at Kenwood?

    I would like to purchase the TH-D7AG if I driver is or can be written
    for Linux. It would seem that Linux would be a large target audience for
    Kenwoods products.
