Since another program I use allows me to control up to four Icom rigs
from a single CT-17 (Logic) I of course think this would be a good idea.
I even proposed this on the reflector a year or two ago.
Wayne please for give me if I'm wrong but to my memory at the time you
indicated this was a low priority item as it only applied to one brand of
radio. If it wasn't Wayne then I can't remember who it was.
