Yeah, the clone mode radios are likely fine. The catch is the live mode
radios, which don't have tests (for fairly obvious reasons). At some point,
it would be good to come up with an approach for this, but I don't know
what it might be. Stubbing out the radios doesn't help much, because then
you have to test that the stubs match the actual radios, so you're just one
step removed.

It reminds me of the early days of testing apps on Blackberries and other
smartphones. Companies literally had a roomful of actual physical phones
that testers would check out one at a time to test the apps. Not exactly
ideal, and a little expensive when it comes to radios.

I'm not suggesting that something be developed at the same time that Joe is
working to get Python 3 up and running, since it only adds to the burden. I
should be able to test the IC-910H, but it would be good to have people
check out other Icom and Kenwood live mode radios.

Martin.
