    John, part of the problem is whether or not the protocol is documented.
    In many cases it seems the HTs and what not probably just do a memory
    dump and the proprietary software is written to handle the specific
    model. If there are no rig control programming specs, there is little
    that can be done unless someone wants to engage in a fair amount of
    reverse engineering, I would assume.

    Of course, the manufacturers can't be bothered to offer anything except
    some one-off program for That Proprietary OS...
