I Colin;

The software written by Rt Systems has always worked with Jaws.

I had a VX-5R and the software worked just fine.

On the other hand, Icom has been putting out there own software and I find
that it works just as well.

The software is not driven by the accessibility of the radio but, by the way
the program is written.
