The CB protocol is not open, therefore we 'only' have Odd Gunnars fine WB2UCI adapter (UCI is a free protocol...). AFAIK even the WB programmers, who have a CB native for free download, dont know the CB protocol as they send their program to CB and CB transforms them into CB Natives. (or they are obliged not to publish the protocol) Regards, Günther
