Maybe one of the latest versions of Hamcom, or Mix 2.19 or 2.21 could be configured to make your boxes run with a PC and PC software.
I did some 12 years ago, using a KPC 2 as dumb modem and homebrew FSK modems (TU's) on my old 386 and 486's using the serial and parallel ports. Don't ask me about the specifics right now, as it has been a long time to remember it all in detail. Just browse the help and docs of Hamcom and the old DOS Mix, and your "boxes" manuals I had particularly good results with a homebrew dual AM demodulator for FSK using some ideas borrowed from the KAM modem and the AN-93. I ran AMTOR and PACTOR using TERMAN 93 and packet using BPQAX25. Filter's alignment and a suitably good post demodulator low pass filter are certainly important. So your equipment may be out of fashion but not useless if it is still in good working shape. But it will be hard to find anyone on AMTOR or plain old pactor in the HF bands, and packet is quite scarce too. 73 & HNY, Jose, CO2JA --- Siegfried Jackstien wrote: > you can get an old pc for free sometimes ... just hold your eyes open > commodore c64 ... yes it is really old gear > happy2009 > dg9bfc > > ----- Original Message ----- > *From:* Michael Mihailovic <mailto:vk...@bigpond.com> > *To:* digitalradio@yahoogroups.com > <mailto:digitalradio@yahoogroups.com> > *Sent:* Saturday, January 03, 2009 10:13 PM > *Subject:* [digitalradio] SOFTWARE? > > Hello All. > I have an old MFJ-1229 which i would like to get going again as well > as a Kantronics UTU interface i used to run the mfj with MBA-TOR prog > on my C64 Commodore does anyone know or have a copy of MBA-TOR or can > suggest something to get these units running the UTU has never been > run please dont laugh i know it's old hat gear but its all i have. > Regards > 73's > Mike > VK2OZ. > VI Conferencia Internacional de Energía Renovable, Ahorro de Energía y Educación Energética 9 - 12 de Junio 2009, Palacio de las Convenciones ...Por una cultura energética sustentable www.ciercuba.com
