what about tentechs last PC controlled radio? was the software accessible
with jaws of rwindow eyes or anything? does anyone know?
Also, how about the other PC controlled transceivers like the kachina radio
that came out a few years ago...a black box with an antenna jack, a power
plug and a port for a cable to go to the pc.
Similar to the tsx2000 i would think.
