I agree with Skip on this Bonnie, the Signalink interface is a very good digital interface and to write it off as a P.O.S is misinformed, disingenuous, just plain wrong and potentially damaging to a small US ham radio oriented company who manufacture quality products.
Just to reiterate I have use it successfully with ALE/141, ALE400, Packet (HF 300 and VHF 1200 baud) and PAX without noticing any problems. Of course I use MultiPSK so your results may not be as good if using other software. 73, Sholto KE7HPV
