Hi Andy, I use 2 soundcards here = 4 ports a DSE ( KVM ) switch between 2 PCs all works ok. If your PCS that you want to use have ISA slots see if there are any DRSI cards and 300 baud modems about these maybe lying around in many shacks now as ISA slot motherboards become out dated.

If you have other computers that will work with the software you want to use, why not use a KVM switch? I only use one computer for digital modes for my ICOM rig, but I have had other rigs in the shack at one time and was able to use VOX keying (Kenwood TS-440SAT) that had two RCA phono jacks f

You might want to offer an option to automatically send each decoded callsign to SpotCollector, but as a "local" spot; this wouldn't go out over the cluster, but would be added to the spot database where the user can see it, filter it, sort it, etc. 73, Dave, AA6YQ -Original Me

Andy, is there an option in MultiPSK to send SpotCollector a "local spot" when a callsign is decoded in JT65A? That would give you both JT65A and PSK callsigns in one place (SpotCollector). If not, perhaps Patrick will add this; its a simple call to SpotCollector. 73, Dave, AA6YQ ---
