Let us reset to reality here--before real myths are generated... actually
the system, in digital form--already exists in my home--and even most of
yours (unless you are webtv.)

A sw receiver card (order it off ebay) and a xmitter card (might have to
construct your own here) slapped into a PCI bus--appropiate connections to
antennas--and I am off into the ether.... the soundcard is my audio, both
xmit and recv, recv software is provided with the card--software for a
homebrew xmit card would need to be constructed and problems would exist in
interfacing software between the recv card and xmit card--all DO-ABLE...

The fact that it can be done easily has already been demonstrated--if you
choose to deny this, do this at the risk of having others doubt your
sanity...


Warmest regards,
John

| One radio case can/could virtually be any radio you can imagine.... new

| Plug in a new audio board "card."

| Someone really should get off a dead duff somewhere and DO IT!!!!
|
