Remote Head for New Uniden

[petrol88]

I've been playing around with the idea of making Remote Head software for my Pocket PC to run one of the new Uniden scanners like my BCD396T.

Other than just emulating the keypresses (which looks like it will be pretty easy to do), what other functions do you think would be cool to add (I like a challenge)?

Have a look at the Butel site, they've done this for the 785/796: http://butel.nl/pocket/pocket.html

If you will be using this "remote" as your primary means of controlling/using the radio, then I suggest implementing as many of the receivers functions as possible. If you are going to go through the trouble you might as well make it as complete as possible.

I've developed a few remotes for the uniden receivers, and its always been a challenge establishing a reduced function set that still allows adequate control over the receiver. The newer protocols are simple enough to use, you might as well go all out.
