Sorry Ian, I don't have the answer to your question (I guess it lies in the
source), but I just wanted to bring to your attention the fact that the
newly release Hamlib 1.1.4 has support for the AOR 3000A (not very well
tested though).

The added bonus of using Hamlib will allow someone else with a different
radio to reuse your code, almost as-is.

If you're interrested, there's a web site at http://hamlib.org and 
I would be pleased to answer to any of your question.
