Actually with the LDG you can plug a USB cable into the 'radio' port they have 
USB/Windows software. I did not know that!

I do not see anything about bumping the L or C remotely though... And the data 
is sparse in general.

No serial interface..

It's actually a current product from LDG - and yes, anything that has the CAT 
interface has a serial port, but it would need reprogramming..
