w2dm gave me some pointers , and im running with that.

but as im planning my freq agile remote. i saw these interesting lines, that we could not quite ident.

696	static char *remote_rig_kenwood="kenwood";
697	static char *remote_rig_tm271="tm271";
698	static char *remote_rig_tmd700="tmd700";
699	static char *remote_rig_ic706="ic706";
700	static char *remote_rig_xcat="xcat";
701	static char *remote_rig_rtx150="rtx150";
702	static char *remote_rig_rtx450="rtx450";
703	static char *remote_rig_ppp16="ppp16"; // parallel port programmable 16 channels

"kenwood". which models? commecial models  or just ham mobiles?

i know what the yeasu models are and an xcat, but what is a ppp16? is that a commecial model specific 16 channel mobile? does it write to the eeprom of that radio? or does it just do memory channel up and down?
