Bruce,
I agree and disagree; I agree that it's not our responsibility to modify the
equipment of end users that are "locked" into a specific mode, but I disagree
that we should ignore them entirely, based on a preference for an open DV
system. I would much rather see a piece of hardware that was able to support
the existing system as well as be upgradable in software to support new ideas,
which is why I brought up working with the protocol developers and one existing
hardware manufacturer to begin with.

Which is just too bad. Appliance users who spend lots of money always
lock themselves in. We can help the people who want to mod their radios,
sometimes, if someone out there is willing to engineer a daughter board
replacement. We aren't responsible to do that ourselves.

I was not proposing to wait for ICOM, Kenwood, or Yaesu to do this, or
some Chinese manufacturer. One alternative is to make a new business and
give David some work. Another is to do it as a project like HPSDR. I am
exploring the potential for funding such a business. I do the opening
keynote of the Wireless Innovation Forum at 9 AM today and will include
a short discussion of the project.
Thanks
Bruce
