Thanks for the tip Andy,seems like the hardest part is just getting
the physical connection to the Icom established.The FL-Digi sounds
good,did some reading on W1HKJ's website,but will have to get a Linux
PC up and running to take full advantage of that software I believe.
Time for bed in the Northeast,will check back tommorow

 -I find Multipsk for packet with a soundcard much easier  than AGW. 
 For PSK Winwarbler, DM780, MUltipsk and others will work well, for 
 PSK250 though you may need FL-DIGI or MixW.
 
 
 I'm not sure about the hook-up for your radio but I agree, the data
 jack is better than the MIC jack, usually.

  GE all,
  I hope this is the best place to post this,trying to get some info on
  setting up sound card digital  packet with my Icom 910.I have done a
  google on this,but haven't run across any info that is of much help.
  I have an old aea pk-96 I could easily hook up,but want to be able to
  do more than just packet,something along the lines of psk-250 for
  local digital with others in the area that are getting a bit more
  serious with digi-modes.
  I have a buxcomm Rascal that is left over from a hf rig,but it has the
  13 pin
  end for a kenwood.What I am uncertain of is the hookup to the 910,the
  manual doesn't say much other than for packet setup.Should I hook up
  to the {Data} socket or the ACC(1) socket or just hook up to the Mic
  connector?,the latter being the least preferable,as I don't really
  want to keep swapping cables to work a net.And If I use the DATA
  socket,is there a way to hook up BOTH the Main  Sub band?Do I need to
  make a special Y cable? 
  I am hoping that a member
  of the group has done this,or has read some info on this sort of
setup.
  Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

  P.S. Should I use AGW Packet Engine,or Flex32,or is there a better
  software app for doing VHF Digi ?
