Actually it's not easy, Java has a huge learning curve due to it's massive libraries. So you would be placing considerable limits on who could help. And even more important the major player "programmers" are not fans of Java, and it's important to keep them happy. The current choice C# is not a bad choice, better than Java or C++. However if you use DttSP to do the math for you, you are free to use whatever else you like for the display/control program, there are some consoles written in Java, Squeak (smalltalk) and, C# at the present time. This situation keeps getting better as more and more separation between the modules get implemented. The plan is for eventually to have a message driven interface between the modules driven by Erlang messaging, which will make it very easy to write a control/display program that basically sends messages to another module that could be on another PC or locally. When they get there I anticipate a free for all with people writing their own consoles in every sort of language and platform. Erlang has libraries for all sorts of languages and OS's to send/receive messages. It will be really exciting once some of this gets implemented. -- Cecil KD5NWA www.qrpradio.com www.hpsdr.com "Sacred Cows make the best Hamburger!"
