-
- There exists somewhere on Portal (I'm not sure about any FTP sites) an
- archive called icomcontrol.lzh that is a demo called "ScanDemo." One point
- you should know - it is for Icom radios using the CI-V interface only.
-
- Other than that, I know nothing about it (I have never used it, only played
- with the user interface). It appeared to have lots of scan options, etc.
