Actually, the Mac OS is based on Linux. FWIW, after using PCs since 1982, I'm now using a Mac. I got tired of all the virus (and anti-virus) hassles with the Windows environment. Ken WA8JXM On Mar 25, 2008, at 11:12 AM, Howard Brown wrote: It appears your opinion is shared by others:

I looked at this only a few weeks ago when I first heard about it. The concept is very interesting since it would give you a faster and lighter Windows 2000 kind of OS. The problem is that it has been worked on for 10 years and has a long way to go as it is only now reaching late alpha at

Hello Mark, On the Mixw program, for RTTY 45 bauds, it is reversed internally, to keep compatible with traditional RTTY which is transmitted in LSB, if you are in USB. Multipsk does the same. So with these softs, you must stay in USB for all digimodes (including RTTY 45 bauds) and all bands,

The Warbler is just a SSB transceiver of low power. It should be able to run any of the soundcard modes. It is certainly worth a try. I have even been considering the Warbler for low battery drain emcomm use for NBEMS. With a low NVIS antenna, range could be 100 to 300 miles, and ARQ would
