Yes, but -- there is the issue of the FORMAT of the digital data, both from the points of view of encoding and of physical interface, which are likely to be quite different within the radio and the computer, and the two systems must be able to talk to each other. Given that there are many low cost A/D -- D/A converter/interfaces on the market that work fine, that's a wheel that Elecraft does not need to invent. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
