And who gets to fix the radio, under warrantee of course, when this home
brewed command line utility bricks the radio? Through this whole
discussion I've heard very little from proponents of open sourcing the
utilities on this minor little point. Telling isn't it.
This could be a profit center for Elecraft now that I think about it. If
it were me, I'd charge $1,500 to fix any Elecraft product which has had
it's brains blown out by some home brewed and unsupported flash utility.

I think that all most of us would need would be a command line utility that
can be used to update firmware and perhaps back up settings.
Either making this open source or just releasing the protocol spec would be
all that's needed.
This would not require the firmware to be open sourced, it would just mean
that the Elecraft provided firmwares can be uploaded to the radio.
Icing on the cake would be the ability to make radio backups
