You have the cart ahead of the horse. Make communications happen then build the applications on top of that.
Not sure how well that will fly for the most part. Unless there are many new 6000 series radios initially out there, logging/contest program authors may not be so driven to write the needed radio interface. Someone mentioned there is now a member of the N1MM team on the staff with Flex which is great news. If many of the commands are the same as the 5K with the 6000 having a superset of commands it may work right away. What I am hoping does NOT happen is waiting so long for the radio and then another 2-3 months before I can use with other software apps. -Greg On 5/24/12, Brian Lloyd <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, May 24, 2012 at 2:50 PM, Greg Zenger [N2GZ] > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> And I think what George and Neal (and of course myself) are really >> looking >> for are drivers and APIs, not simply CAT controls. >> > > Protocols.
