Ah, proprietary software, I remember that concept.  Long time no see.
Hmm, well, I guess I should expect it, as we are using proprietary
hardware.

I help Bob, http://parnass.com/tk2/ who is already on the Free
Software bandwagon.  (Besides, I don't have a R5 nor a non GNU/Linux
system :-) ).  Ok, my bible thumping aside,

well if it is like the R2, then my

warns about some detail there.

I'm hoping you proprietary dudes could divulge these exact ranges (for
the R2 for now) to Bob so we know just how far one can go.  P.S. how
does one write values below 0.495 Mhz in non-US R2's, anyone?
