Description

I have a few of these delightful little HT's on hand, with a programming cable, and happen to have a lot of background in computer programming though mostly in other areas.

I'd like to either be helpful to a project developer who's interested in expanding support for these radios, or possibly get more information on the process of figuring out how to make this work. There is a "commander" software out there for this model of radio, perhaps there's some potential to get some help from KC8UNJ.

I found this thread* which indicates that the VX-7 is pretty close to the VX-2, and indeed, I can get it to read the data stream for awhile.

The console log goes as follows:
