Hi Ed,
It is nice to be able to use one basic software package for several
rigs. Right now the DX Lab suite seems the best product available for
free and probably the best product at any price. The author is amazingly
available on the internet unlike the authors of most of the software
that you pay money for. PSKMulti works very well with the DX Lab
programs, particularly the Commander program and that is true with
either the Peg or ICOM rigs. I have an older Kenwood TS440SAT but I
never set up any interface for it and consider it mostly a back up rig
although I did run AMTOR and later Pactor I with that rig and different
hardware interfaces. I only run sound card software now on HF.
The one limitation of the Peg is the slow updating of being able to read
the frequency in the Commander program. As you probably know, the Peg
uses a very crude software register to place and read any data being
transferred between the programs. So changing parameters is slow. The
ICOM is very rapid and to a human, seems instantaneous.
Good luck and hope to see you on the bands sometime.
73,
Rick, KV9U
