<div>What we need is some sort of open source packet encoder and display that allows people to play with the data but not mess with the frequency limits of the radio... hmm... Oh yes, this is called HAM HUD. <a href="http://www.hamhud.net/">www.hamhud.net</a> </div>

Just look at how many people can't set up a D710 or VX-8R without assistance, I know I keep referring to the books for programming my simple HTs. Imagine the complexity when 10 different users of the same radio have 15 different ways to do the same thing. And they'll think they can call the manufacturer when it doesn't work right.<br>
