Re: Monitoring PC LOG REPORTS via DMP XR200/ICOM and Linux

[blueman <NOSPAM@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Probably because I lack the time and skill :)

But, I don't believe that the messages are truly encrypted (I don't
have the ICOM-E) and good open source guys have dissassembled much
more complex and intentionally encrypted protocols.

If I were a betting guy, I would wager in fact that the messages are
pretty much sent in the clear with just some header info up front.

In any case, I was more curious about whether anyone has done anything
like this before rather than trying to do it all from scatch.
