Point taken, John. However, I think it's important to point out that
all the examples you mention utilize source codes that are 'flavors' of
Winradio's own - admittedly open sourced - language. I erred when I
referred to this as proprietary.
TenTec also freely publishes their control codes, and with that, there
are almost 2 dozen control programs, for DOS, Windows and even one or
two Linux programs. The only platform I don't know of any RX320 support
for is the Mac - I wonder why? Maybe because of a difference in how a
RS232 port is defined?
Intersting nonetheless....73s Mike

I may have to respectfully differ he Winradio makes it
extremely easy to develop software for their radios, by publishing API
together with example source codes:
http://www.winradio.com/home/developer.htm

They also provide many free "plugins" together with an
open-architecture for developing third-party plugins:
http://xrs.winradio.com

And they also provide excellent and free Basic-like programming
language called RadioBasic: http://www.rbasic.com

And they also have a site dedicated to Linux support (also with free
source codes): http://www.linradio.com

As far as I know this kind of extensive support is unparalleled with
any other radio manufacturer.
