Hi Peter! I am also new to digital radio but have done a lot of digging about hardware and software. First; The computer with the correct software installed MixW, MMTTY and several others have taken the place of the TNC. With that said. Second; you need a sound card interface between your computer and radio equipment. West Mountain Radio, MFJ and others make these. You might even venture if so inclined to build your own. just Google on digital sound card interface as well as digital mode software.
Hope this along with others in the groups input helps. Hope to QSO with you on RTTY sometime. 73, Greg DeChant, W8GCD [EMAIL PROTECTED] No trees were killed in the transmission of this message but, several million electrons were inconvienced. ----- Original Message ----- From: "pcooke2002" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <digitalradio@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 1:33 PM Subject: [digitalradio] new operator question - I did not find an FAQ > Hello - > Eventhough I have had my tech license for a couple of years.
