The other alternative is to have a switch in the software to allow 
"unlimited" programming, and when this is activated, a big warning pops 
up that the user has to read - "This is unsupported, you risk damaging 
your radio, and the author will not be responsible if you proceed.  Type 
<random series of letters> to continue or click on Cancel to abort."
