Hi all,

Still searching for a replacement to my aging hf gear.

Just continuing from my previous messages of a few weeks ago, at that 
time I was interested in the tentek orian.

As it looks like that is not going to be accessible, have started 
looking again.

Just reading on the net and I see that the ic7800 has the option of 
being upgraded by installing new software.  As I believe the current 
unit has the ability to speak the operating frequency, it strikes me 
that with a bit of software writing, it may be possible to increase 
the accessibility.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas about the feasibility of this 
and whether the source code can be obtained.

I am no expert in this field so may be off track but I would really 
like an accessible top end radio and from the reviews, the receiver 
looks quite impressive.

Anythoughts?


Keith
