Tony,

Car Talk *and* Sammy Hagar?? Sounds like a potential case of IIBBS-C -- Incipient Idiopathic Bad Brain Syndrome (California) -- to me!

Well, if May arrives and I'm tunerless, I could be very interested in this concept! Actually, I own a competing product, the ICOM PCR-1000. Same concept, 12V, serial port, all software control. Fair amount of 3rd party software for it, including at least one Linux daemon that could be a starting point for something. The one I'm thinking of is at: http://www.mv.com/ipusers/cdwalker/pcrd.html. This was done in C, I think, no idea whether it could be adapter to WinRadio or whether their message syntax is remotely similar.

Fun, idea, though. I may have to think about it even if the tuner module shows up.
