Jay, Since this new radio requires a PC to operate, the Pegasus must be
Digital Mode Ready ....Right?
I mean ..you dont need to buy an outboard TNC from MFJ to do RTTY, CW,
AMTOR, PACTOR, WEFAX, and other digital modes, do you?
If this radio has all that built in then Ten-Tec has a HOT item on their
hands.
That would be a BIG jump on the other radio makers and a great achievement
for Ten-Tec.
If not .... OH Well.... I can wait for Pegasus V+. or Kachina 2 which ever
comes first. Sooner or later one of them will have it built in.
