[CW] OT - But Useful - Transceiver Memory Programming Application

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

The Subject says most of it.  Off topic but useful.  Best of all to the
"minority" operating system users, it supports Windows, Mac and Linux.

Have one of those new radios that needs to be programmed?  The small
transceivers can be a real pain in the computer port <grin>.

This software gets a plug on the CW Reflector because it does the job for
many, many radios and does it without cost to you.
