Yeah, interesting. I guess it's part HF radio, part VHF radio, part 
handheld :)

Well, yeah, although the 2800 driver was a bit uglier than normal, and 
definitely not typical in terms of communication (a three-byte ack and 
even parity ?!). I would maybe look at one of the VX-x drivers, although 
I think that your comms routines are more likely to look like those of 
the 7800 (i.e. upload() and download().
