Re: [digitalradio] directly modulate computer /thus eliminating transceiver audio input"
Well, I set up a portable chair that has a small shelf on the side where I
place my 817. Battery on the ground. The NUE-PSK and very small keyboard sit
on my lap. Works very comfortably. With PSK, I don't need to tune the radio
very often, typically.
I also liked the Commodore back in those days. And my dad had a TI 99 (I think
it was). When computers were real and printed line by line on the screen.
None of this namby pamby GUI stuff.

It'd be pretty cool if that nue-psk device was a little more like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80_Model_100 With the built in keyboard. Is it
very cumbersome to have that, a keyboard and your radio going all at once?

my battery, so right now I'm still tied to power company infrastructure for
re-charging. But architecturally, I don't have to be.)
As you say, both approaches have value. This diversity is why Ham Radio is
so interesting

NUE PSK is great for back packing and mobile operation so long as only
PSK 31 or RTTY is of interest. Computers offer a richer display with more
options and the ability to generate many different modes. The idea is to go
directly from the computer via IP to a back box that is broadband and can be
remotely located and is mode agnostic. Both approaches have their own
advantages.

Will be interesting to compare this effort to the NUE-PSK, which takes a
different appoach. They have a modem that plugs directly into a transceiver' s
Data port eliminating the need for PCs and soundcards, but they are now working
on a "NUE-SDR" transceiver that either will fit as a card inside the little
modem, or attach underneath it (not sure what their final design will be).
This would eliminate both the PC and a separate transceiver.

HEY !! I had one of those. In fact, I had a Trash 80 Model 1 with 4 k of RAM
and Level I rom. That cassette interface was a POS. I also had most of the
other TRS models at one time or other.

Remote control. Very useful in some situations. Especially if you aren't allowed to have decent antennas where you live.
