Mike:

As usual, you got everything backwards... digital is not analog, end of
story.

Easy do, John, the Coslonaut is "reaching for the edge of space!"

The modem on the mic just points out hams are too lazy, or two limited to
even be able to kludge a simple digital project together, when the parts
are just laying around. Hell, you have to use such stuff, real digital
equip is few are far between and there are so few hams the call for such
equip is almost non-existant, and that is sure not much motivation for
manufacturers to build any!

Witness the comments on a previous thread about the "Sienna,"
a new HF transceiver built around a PC-on-a-card. It is not
"real radio" to some of these MMMs so they decry it. However,
this small DZ outfit chose to remove its first kit from its
product line called the "PSKUBE." That one was essentially a
PC with built-in LCD screen display and detachable keyboard
designed expressly to work with PSK31 or any other common
TTY format...full HF receiver and QRP (sorta) transmitter.
Apparently the demand for the PSKUBE was so low that it would
not have been profitable for DZ to continue marketing it.

Your arguments are lame, you are confused, you are just ****ed that some
real numbers are going to come to amateur radio. You know the old brass
pounders are going to be setting out there chatting with the fewer and
fewer of themselves which survive each and every new coming year, time is
their enemy and the hope of progress...

Coslo seems to have but one aim: Winning points in message
exchanges. Doesn't matter what the subject matter is, he
will swing either way to win a round. shrug
