Cool. :)  I've got kind of sidetracked by amateur radio stuff, though that
hobby is also fertile ground for new projects.  One that would be useful and
would involve a bit of coding is a piece of software that emulates a particular
brand of radio, translates support commands to a real radio and simulates many
others.  The purpose would be to my my FT-736R more acceptable to rig control
software, because the FT-736R's computer control is very basic.  You're only
able to set frequency, mode and a few other functions.  A big limitation is you
can't read anything.

However, because enabling computer control locks out the radio's fromt panel,
having an intermediate piece of software to save those settings for later
reading should (in theory) work.

Probably be a long time before I'm ready to take that on (and simpler to buy a
new radio LOL).  But I'd definitely like to have that capability.


... The poor man.  He's completely unspoiled by failure.
