Plug and Play Support

Linux provides a subsystem for managing user devices called udev. EmComm Tools leverages this subsystem to provide plug and play support. This support is primarily geared around supporting:

• Serial devices for CAT control
• Sound cards for digitial mode communication
• GPS units
