The Bridgecom website for this radio has a big warning about their software
written specifically for Windows, that it may not work in a virtual
environment. While that is pointed at Mac users, I imagine that Linux would
be included.

I suppose this is an issue folks should look at when considering radio
equipment today, as almost everything needs to be programmed by computer. I
use several radio related applications that must run on actual Windows
machines and not a virtual environment.  For that reason, I still have
Windows computers.
