I am getting a broken link when I go to ww.virtualradios.com.
By any chance did you keep a copy of the information you cite?
thanks

Hi,
My understanding of the control codes for the Harris 590 and 590A is that
they are totally different. The 590A lends itself to computer control much
more easily than the 590.
This info I got from Colin Trass at www.virtualradios.com
His site is worth a look...

  You'll need to get a RS232<->422 converter.
  Somewhere I have a copy of the R590A control codes. I'll bet they are
nearly identical with 590. I've also got a 590A to try :-)
  I've worked with John Fallows in the past to get the 8712P and RX340 into
ERGO4.

  The proprietor of Ergo Software, an amateur radio operator, has indicated
he is willing to try incorporating support for these radios into his
software...if he can get the control protocols. I have both rx's, and would
want to
  operate the WJ 8718 remotely via internet (located at a prime rx site of
course). The Ergo program looks interesting, and is priced very reasonably.
For a look:

  If anyone can furnish the control codes, ( both of my rx's use the 422
standard ) we could send it to Ergo.
