That's because Joe halted the development. He pleaded with potential users to interface it with their choice of radio. I was the test for the Delta-S low band. There were several other volunteers who did other radios. As each one was proven to work, Joe added the programming for that particular radio to the microprocessor. It was a work in progress.
There were several memories (can't recall how many), scan, etc. You could change to a non-memory frequency on the fly if you desired. Maybe Doug Bade remembers, I think this work was back in the late 90's.
