Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but a google search didn't turn anything up.

Is there a Linux tool available for programming an Icom T-90 HT?

Thanks,

John,

You may want to check at:
http://radio.linux.org.au
In the rig control software section.

Thanks, but there's nothing there for the T90 -- closest is a couple of programs for the IC-Q7, but I don't know if the two radios use the same interface.

John, part of the problem is whether or not the protocol is documented. In many cases it seems the HTs and what not probably just do a memory dump and the proprietary software is written to handle the specific model. If there are no rig control programming specs, there is little that can be done unless someone wants to engage in a fair amount of reverse engineering, I would assume.

Of course, the manufacturers can't be bothered to offer anything except some one-off program for That Proprietary OS...
