Unfortunately I think Rob's point here is somewhat tainted by an overly-narrow view of how the radio software is developing and where it's headed. His general point is well taken, but it appears to be based on a concept of the software as a single application rather than a virtual radio *system* for combining functions *into* an application. The "single application" model is explicitly what we're abandoning. While Rob's appeal to simplicity is laudable, his recommendations for achieving it are more appropriate to a continuation of the old model rather than embracing the new one. 73 Frank AB2KT _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
