[amsat-bb] Re: Yaesu FT-736R and HRD

[Jean-François Ménard]

I understand, but is there a way to support this rig anyway ? SatPC32 offer
a good compromise when using this rig without the vfo reading..... you only
control the radio for the software... no vfo dial.... that is not a real
problem for me.

I understand too that this request could ask a lot of work in HRD...

Ok thanks for the answer. I will stick with SatPC32.... hopefully, I really
like this software.
