OWX (Open Wouxun) is an open-source program designed to program

Wouxuns are supported too, but
this is not guaranteed - use at your own risk and ALWAYS make
backups! This software is highly experimental. Using it can
result in rendering your radio unusable and your dog killed. You
have been warned. --------------------------------------

Hi,
I'm just curious, what do you use these radios for in days of mobile
phones and sms? If it is not confidential :-)

Totally off topic, but ham radio is almost always the first means of
communications after a disaster. It's also a system to bridge between
various agencies during said disasters as just about no government
has been able to coordinate cross-agency stuff. This is true every
where. Not to mention hams building satellites, digital networks,
bouncing signals off the Moon and hordes of other things. You cell
phone *will* die during any kind of real emergency. My ham systems
won't. ;-)
