With the capability to cut and paste a received message from MT-63 and send it out via Winlink, the 10 second turn around is very close to simultaneous operation. If you want to make things difficult for your self, or discourage others from using the available transport layers, you can advocate having 3 rigs and as many antennas. Here is an example of a complete Transportable outfit for rapid deployment: http://www.se-hams.com/html/emcomm1.html A single antenna (DX-CC, BW-90, Screwdriver on a tripod, etc.) is all that is necessary. The setup above allows voice, sound card modes, External DSP controlled modes (Pactor III being the main one), has manual tuner with bypass mode. The rig covers from 160m to 70cm. A separate UHF/VHF setup would be a nice addition to the setup above. A FT-8900 to a quad band tripod mounted antenna, would be the icing on the cake. David KD4NUE

Given: TS-480HX Signalink USB Timewave PK232 USB, etc Thinkpad T-41 Doze XP Pro how do I hook this up so that I can run Olivia/MT63 or whatever at the same time this thing is trying to go Peer to Peer and is being driven freqency wise by Automatic freq control software? I suppose that the AFC will have to be disconnected or disabled and Pactor will be set to run on the ... I just don't see how you can run Pactor on the same radio as soundcard and at the same time. it is also obvious that this setup is not going to allow HF SSB as long as this stuff is turned on, nicht? so, a deployed station is going to have to have as many as three radios and as many antennas.??? thanks chas -- ch...@texas. <mailto:chasm%40texas.net> net k5dam Houston, TX Orwell -- "If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever." ---
