Notes with RCForb 3
After installing RCForb 3 you will notice that there are no drivers for other radios, only dummy and Yaesu Ft857.
Other radios will be added in the future release of RCForb 3.
To get any other radio working you will need either HRD (HamRadio Deluxe) or SWlog(ShortWavelog).
NOTE:- HamRadioDeluxe does not support PCR1500/2500. You can use SWlog for these radios

Please NOTE:-
If you do not wish to have your radio PUBLISHED at this time, then goto Publish and uncheck the Publish box in RCForb 3.
Done, your Radio is now online.
External Web Hosting
You may have noticed in RCForb that there is no reference to host RCForb externally.
This can be done with a few added changes to your Web Server html files.
