Gosh, all we need to do is define a nice flexible software layer between the GPSDO and the computer, etc. similar to ASCOM for astronomical telescopes. That way, the layer and all its associated drivers do all the work, and anyone's GPSDO or computer program will work if the associated drivers are available or developed. Wow what a deal... Don
