Ah, Keith.

The devil is in the details.  If they did it right, one might be able to 
control the radio with nothing more than a computer with JAWS and a piece 
of CAT 5 cable.  But, then again...

Of course the first detail is that I would probably have to commit a felony 
to get one of those radios... I don't think it is worth it.
