I've been meaning to look into it. Happy to co-maintain with
debian-hams. I have been following the relevant list (linuxhams at
yahoogroups) for a while, and some code of mine is in there (the

One issue is that it requires FLTK 2.0 which we don't seem to have in
Debian currently (even in unstable).
