The Need for Standard APIs in Amateur Radio

I found this article, by Lawrance Dobranski (VA3LGD), was linked from the ARRL SDR page.

He was WAY ahead of his time.

In Summary:

Software Developers have to scramble in order to provide new interfaces for new equipment, and for the betterment of the Amateur Radio Community, there needs to be a common, extensible, supported communications protocol (API) between the radios and their controlling software.

Lawrence's article was orriginally published in the back of the Jan/Feb issue of QEX, in 1999.
