Thanks a lot for this feature, it finally allows us to ditch VOX without having to modify the iLink Interface Board which uses CD as the COR signal. That iLink Board also supports sending ASCII text over the RS-232 port. "T" to key the radio, "R" to dekey it. Sending "C" every 20ms or so keeps the board alive -- if too much time passes the board will think the computer locked up and will force the radio to dekey. The interface also responds to each "C" command with a blank space, unless it decodes a DTMF digit off the radio, in which case it'll respond with the corresponding digit. In other words, "C" polls the board for a DTMF digit, if available, and prevents it from going into timeout mode -- a great feature for true RF gateways like repeaters. Keep up the great work!
