that we're familiar with use sound tones through the microphone and speaker port to communicate and basically that communicates directly into the memory of the radio. With Bluetooth, the way that Bluetooth works is you don't have a raw socket serial connection into the radio, you have to send things in chunks. And so in order to do that you have to be able to stop communication in the middle, make sure everything's good, and then continue with the next segment that's called asynchronous communication. And so it's a fundamentally different model for radios that presume to be programmed through Bluetooth through segment and reassemble chunks. And the conventional radios that we're all familiar with where it can just listen to tones and remap the memory directly through the mic and the speaker port. So some of the newer radios like the, I think this is a VTech UVPro, do not support the old model of accepting the programming through the audio interface of the radio and you have to do it through the Bluetooth connection. So it's a little more complicated to accomplish. Hope that made sense.
