In my case, "it depends". For some applications, PC based software is a good solution, as is a hardware modem attached to a radio. In other applications, there is no room for add on boxes of any kind, PC or node adapter. For example, when I take my IC-91AD out, I just want to carry the radio and no additional boxes to make it do D-STAR. For that scenario, an internal hardware implementation of the codec is the only answer. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
