Just a question out of curiosity. What is the programming language of SDR console?

Anyone any idea?

Mostly Microsoft's Visual C++ last I knew. It's basically a C++ program regardless of what language the creators of some libraries it pulls in might have used.

The code I write is C++, a little C and some assembler. A major library I use is Intel's IPP, these functions are 95% assembler as well.

Thanks Simon,

I will try to self learn a little bit of programming in C++.
Project goal: create a little interface so I can do basic things like turning on and off my Kenwood TS-480 radio, read the SWR, turn on/off the antenna tuner, change power settings, etc.
In the past I have built a web interface using Perl on my webserver. I was able to control my radio from the website.
I know how to communicate to the Kenwood radio and get info from the radio using the com port because of the experience I have from my own built web control page.
Do you think that, in case I'm successful with this little project for self-teaching purposes, you could integrate the code into the external radio window?
I would like to make this compatible with the Kenwood protocol.
This would mean that anyone who owns a Kenwood TS-480, 590, 450 etc would be able add the Pan adapter by using a simple SDR receiver and SDR Console.
What do you think?
I'm not sure if I can do it, but before I start the project I want to be sure that the code can be used by yourself to add these features into the sdr console. I want the project to be at least useful.

Kind regards.

sdr console talks kenwood language already (ts2000 protocol)
and there is omnirig (to sync two rigs via virtual or real comports)
and the is exernal radio window
so you have a few options and possible setups
