Strange, I just emailed them and they asked things like my company name, FAA repair station number, address, etc.... :P I replied that I was just a lowly recreational user putting their gear into a home sim. The rep was very clear that they offered no support for the likes of me, but did attach the pinout for the control head in question. :)

I was excited to see a digital control head working, that would seem to indicate the actual interface to the radio itself is similar across manufacturers, that it is a standard? If so, that's awesome because I can write one program and use a lot of different types of heads if I want to. Thanks for passing it on!
