<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=767500608-10082009>It depends what you mean
by an "Open" interface.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=767500608-10082009>Many rigs have a remote
control facility, via CAT or CI-V or whatever, that is often well documented in
the manual that (usually) comes with the radio. If not, most can be found
on the web somewhere.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=767500608-10082009></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=767500608-10082009>If on the other hand you
mean, to hack the radios internal comms, between for example the main and head
units, then the only one I know of, is the IC706, where several people have
documented somewhat successfull attempts to utilise that control method.
With that rig though, you need to maintain a fairly regular rapid exchange of
info, or the rig decides there is a comm's failure and powers down. Google
for IC706 remoting, for example, should find you something.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=767500608-10082009>Perhaps the Kenwood's
have a similar scheme? Otherwise, do your own custom GUI, then just
use the radio's "normal" remote control port. At least that is
documented.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Whoops… Sorry for the empty post. Apparently, Hotmail doesn’t work
with Linux anymore. Here is what the post was supposed to
contain:<BR> <BR>Hello to all,<BR> <BR>As a follow on to my post
regarding a Touchscreen APRS software (and cross-posting from the
TM-D710_TM-V71 yahoo group). I have yet another question that I believe may be
best answered by the aprssig folks…<BR> <BR>Is there a software program
available that takes the place of the D710 display head? I am looking to do a
very clean APRS 2m/70cm mobile install. I would like to have the radio
completely controlled by a PC with an in-dash touchscreen interface. The only
piece of radio hardware I want to touch or see is the mic.<BR> <BR>I
would appreciate any and all suggestions. I think the APRS equivalent of the
ten-tec omni vii is what I am looking for.<BR> <BR>>From the ten-tec
site: "That's not all: the latest GUI source code (written in Visual Basic)
and complete programming instructions can be downloaded to build your own
GUI."<BR> <BR>Is there a mobile radio out there that has an open computer
interface?<BR> <BR>Thanks in advance for any advice,<BR>Fred KJ4LFJ - New
