I have one of the original ones also, but like Rick I never really used it although it still travels with me. I haqve moved and need to get a usable apartment antenna installed. I actually ordered mine before a trip to Sweden and had it shipped to a friend's house there. It is basically a usb soundcard with a PTT switch. As such it seems to be aimed at phone operation and I am more of a digital operator.
