If anyone is considering this, but is stopped because their PC doesn't

Since it has been a while since these have been up on the list, I want to
remind folks that this requires an early early early generation slot,
called an ISA slot. The drivers for the card are STRICTLY DOS 6.2 and
earlier interrupt handlers and are zero likely to work on a modern windows

I have my original PacardBell P100 desktop with win95 which has been
gathering dust on a shelf. It has ISA slots and parallel port which

Hi,
I picked up an old Kansas City Tracker, circa 1990, and was wondering if

a spiffy, brand new LVB Tracker with LCD display and USB interface from AMSAT

Great card in its day, though it did have a VERY loud signal on the low end
of two meters. I could hear mine half a mile away. It was a DOS-era card,
and you will probably find conflicts with modern versions of Windows. For
about the $150 for an ISA-to-USB card, you can get a modern,
