Hi All
Well, I went the cheap route and built my own interface for Hamcom 3.1. I run
it from an old 386 laptop in DOS, and it works just great. If one is just
going to run RTTY [as opposed to AMTOR], you can simplify the interface by
leaving out PTT switching and just let the VOX key the rig [this is AFSK, and
the input goes into the MIC connector].
The Hamcom 3.1 software is cheap [shareware--registration $30], and quite
versatile. It allows you to automate much of the operation, including
increasing serial numbers for contests, etc.
Hope that presents clearly one way to do it.
73, Jim NØOCT
