Greetings again

Maybe I am just not reading the instructions correctly but do you need a
special board pluged into your computer to simply listen to a repeater on
the network?

The main thing Larry, is that you have to have a special lack of
intelligence that allows you to get on the Internet and call it "Ham Radio"
just because some moron has hooked his radio up to the Internet.

Charles,

I see that you don't much care for progress....or are you just always
ornery...bet those who used smoke signals felt the same way when more modern
forms of communication came along.

I really do get a kick out of those who think that
NOT using radio is somehow progress in the USE of radio!

The display of ignorance is quite amazing.

Unlike yourself, of course.

I predict that in 2004, a manufacturer will produce a ham radio that has
a built-in network Wi-Fi and that's how you will control the radio, and
pass audio to it. It will either be a proprietary application, or you will
use a Netmeeting type of vocoder software.

That's going a little too far. I would never buy such a device.

Good idea.
Use 13 cm. for the control link.

Oh wait, people are already doing that on many different
VHF / UHF / SHF bands.

Nothing to see here, move along.
