In RTTY mode, WinWarbler can run a soundcard RTTY engine (MMTTY) in
parallel with an external RTTY modem like your AEA232MBX, a KAM, an
MFJ RTTY modem, or an SCS multimode controller. This can be used in
two useful ways:
1. to provide diversity decoding, which can improve your copy of RTTY
DX in poor conditions
2. to simultaneously copy a RTTY DX station operating split and his
or her pileup, accelerating detection of the DX station's QSX
frequency

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
