I'm eagerly awaiting the block diagram and system specification which I
assume you'll be working on. I'm sure it won't take you long. Good luck!

If the "hardware guys" didn't know how to provide a software interface, there are "linux hams" who would, most likely, if asked, "sponsor" such a effort on the Linux platform--hopefully--the interface to such a radio would bypass BOTH Mac and Windows, why these OS's are sufficient for home users, non-technical business and gov't--the technical mind deserves more, the power of linux (unix really) would serve them much better... However, the "system" we are speaking of would ONLY require a software interface if you inserted that card/module which allowed computer control, otherwise it would be using the analog card/module and associated faceplate... I think most here start right out trying to "limit" this "system" I have put forward--there would be no limits to it... if you can see a limit, that is only a bug which needs designed around... The homebrew community might be the best place to design, develop and introduce this from... as, if you allow too greedy a manufacturer control--it will just end up dying from his/her attempts to squeeze too much blood from the turnip!!! That is what has happened in the past... Warmest regards, John |
