If Pactor, packet Amtor, etc. all died because of the need for a $300 TNC, I think amateur radio as a hobby really is dying! $300 in today's money is nothing compared to what many amateurs paid for their HF rigs years ago. Need a Digital mode QSO? Connect to Telnet://cluster.dynalias.org Othe

I think you missed a point- That $300 is IN ADDITION to the rig cost. If the same or better performance can be achieved with equipment you already have, isn't that better? An additional plus is the fact that software changes to improve is cheaper than new equipment. Bill-W4BSG At 10:06 AM 9/1

Just so you know, that many of us don't drive Cadillacs or even Buicks. In fact, my wife drives a used pickup truck with over 100,000 miles on it, but it is a 4 wheel drive extended cab she wanted for the farming operation. I drive a Chevrolet Cavalier, which is a step up from what I used to dr
