I guess I need to clarify Mole, I meant without the cables! It seems as though an wireless adapter using a micro-controller could be built and plugged into the CAT port. Anyway, I guess you'll need to generate enough interest that the MFG's will be able to justify costing it in and...

How about the using the Cat port? Moleculo, I don't know what kind of equipment you have, but it seems like a lot of the control functions you want to do could be interfaced through the CAT port that most modern rigs have. You might want to look into that. There is...

Do it yourself! Why don't you just add bluetooth capability to your existing gear? Check out the youtube videos on adding bluetooth to amateur radio equipment by Randy K7AGE. I've been looking at doing it to my rigs. No modifications to the radios it uses off the shelf equipment.

I've tried! I agree with some of the previous posts. Some times I think Fred is his own worst enemy. As my user name says, I work qrp most of the time and one evening while monitoring 80 meters I stumbled across the Marconi net. I was hearing quite a few of the stations so I figured I'd give it...
