You have to remember that there is quite a bit in that firmware. All the
calibration and linearization routines are in there. Do you really want to sit down and write code to try and set up VFO linearity, or code to properly address the xtal filters. This is a daunting task and I would never release the code to something like this that must have taken hours and hours to make work properly. Especially seeing as the limited memory space available. This is not a Microsoft project where a 10k program is written with 500mb's of code and uses 150mb of memory to run.

Of course I do not want to write a VFO linearizer. If a Company releases code
to the community, they only release what might be remotely useful. For instance they could essentially have an interface that would give you hooks to change menus, but not change the VFO linearization. That also assures that nobody could simply clone the hardware and have taken all of the intellectual property away. The cloners probably couldn't write their own linearizer without a major investment. Tom Quoting "Gregg R.
