One interesting issue I found with MixW (albeit for a narrow spectrum of users) is it will lock up your XP machine when used with the ICOM PCR-2500 software or with TrunkPCR. I actually like MixW, but can't use it with that unit.
My favorites so far are MultiPSK (sooo many modes, and they work!) and the slick HRD app, DM 780. --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "Patrick Lindecker" <f6...@...> wrote: > > Hello Buddy, > > > UGLY looking program.
