I have had an AEA 232MBX, in fact two of them, for quite some time now. I used to use them all the time for RTTY and packet, but I am wondering if these units no longer any good for Ham Radio, because of the advent of Computers, the Digital Software for RTTY and Telnet for spotting and the passing away of PACTOR I.
I know I can get upgrades for them for soundcard, ect. But is there any use in doing that since I run soundcard applications from the computer. Are they of more advantage than the sound card on my computer or would I be wasting my time, money and effort? Can someone tell me if these are good for *anything* viable these days or is it true that they are just dinosaurs now? I cant understand how they are still being sold at such high prices new, if they are of no use, I just don't know what to use them for that would be useful. Thanks Bob AD5VJ
