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.

operating system on their PCs is a pretty low level concern, and the
inertia that Windows has will allow it to continue its market
dominance for years to come.

Mel,
One final thought -- if you already own or can inexpensively obtain a
Windows operating system (or are happy using Linux), one approach to
getting a desktop PC is to buy a new 'bare bones' unit such as this
one at Fry's:
also get one for
$20 or less, and this gives you the opportunity for easy returns if
it doesn't work.
Fry's will occasionally have them on sale for $9... I now have a
spare from getting one at such a sale!

Say Mike,
Rick I have no problem with messages but do have a problem with e-
mail on HF that should be on the Internet instead.
How do you define should be on the Internet? Isn't that still the
same thing as saying you have a problem with voice on HF that should
be on the public switched

Mike,
Between Winlink 2000 and Echolink you have to wonder how long before
we lose more spectrum because they will claim that we don't need it
because were using the Internet instead of RF.

You make a lot of good points; well said.

Yes. It's called SCAMP (there's a Yahoo! group dedicated to it),
but it's not yet ready for prime time; give them somewhere between a
few more months and a year here and it might start to stack up
pretty well against Pactor.

Hi Walt,
Quating Joel Kolstad...
You don't have to use Pactor III (the mode that SCS -- and only
SCS -
- supports); it's just arguably the most robust, fastest mode out
there.
I disagree...even WinLink's KN6KB's test show that this is not
true.
OK, I'll re-phrase that as Pactor
