I started with one of those but I built it from scratch from the manual in a 9th grade shop class and it worked! I do have an original Ocean Hopper with all the coils sitting on the shelf and a knight Broadcaster tuned to 160. Bet Y'all didn't know Knight had a rig that would do 160! Fun Stuff!

Hello all: Getting ready to set up PSK31 on my K3 following the operating tips outlined by Wayne. He states: It is usually best to use a second sound card for...digital modes. Is he referring to something like Tigertronics? 73 Bill, Ai4PF
