Ken,
For the very reasons you mention I cannot imagine for a moment that Eric would allow the release of their code.

Wayne and Eric:

PLEASE don't cave in to the requests of those on the reflectors who are
asking
you to disclose the "genetic makeup" of their radios by publishing the
software
that would enable anyone to modify how a given radio operates.

I see this as no different than a breeder of a thoroughbred breed of dog
opening
the pen and letting all comers mate with the females.  You would end up
with a
"contaminated" breed.

I envision an increased workload at Elecraft in dealing with the customers
who
manage to "mess up" their radio's "brains" and want help in restoring them
to
the original state.  Nothing but non-profit overhead.

I would be wary ... read "never" ... of buying a used Elecraft product for
fear
that it's genetic makeup had been altered and really wasn't an Elecraft
anymore.

Perhaps I'm not understanding something ...

73!
