You can find suitable XP-Pro machinces for well under $100 at PacificGeeks.com. I purchased a refurbished HP PC with one serical and one parallel plus a handful of USB ports for $59.95 recently. I'm a broadcast engineer (electronics and IT) for a nation-wide company where we still use XP on

You are correct about WinXP SP2, but support continues for WinXP SP3. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/20/2011 11:13 PM, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: > Second, I don't know where people are coming up with an end of > support date in 2014 for Windows XP. This Microsoft site > http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/win

6 weeks ago I had a machine built to a high spec, I asked for Win XP Pro, but got a call saying Microsoft don't supply a stand alone xp pro os software anymore. When I picked up my new PC the builder said MS supplied an official OS software disc with XP Pro and with licensed Win7 software onbo

Don, I was specifically speaking to *new* installations ... try to find a fresh copy of Windows XP - particularly Windows XP Professional which is the only version worth having - for sale at any reputable dealer. You certainly will not find it at New Egg or Tiger Direct. Second, I don't know wh

Joe, What you say is partially correct (it all depends on your definition of "dead"). WinXP is still supported for security updates from Microsoft. Although, MS will no longer answer specific questions relating to WinXP, they are still providing "support" in the form of security updates. Whi

Jim, If you are serious about doing digital modes, I would highly recommend a dedicated PC for the hamshack, and I would further recommend a desktop running Windows XP. Most all ham applications will run on XP, but some have trouble on Vista or Win7. A desktop allows you to install real seri

I thought about it a bit more and there would not be a need to retune the K3 receive side if split was used. VFO A would be used to set the listening range that the PC operated its decoding on (~2.5Khz) and that same program could QSY VFO B for transmitting (KY stream) in split mode so that the dis

It's just something software authors have not bothered with since they already work with audio with no problems. There are two programs which may be of interest KTune has a function for a digital window using FSK-D and PSK-D using the K3 com port. I don't recall if there is a waterfall or no

Jim, If you can convince the authors of the software that provides the waterfall display you wish to send an ascii stream to the K3 via the "KY" command(s), then what you wish will be accomplished. The K3 has made that provision possible, but so far, only a couple applications have chosen to ta

I've been playing around with PSK a bit with my PC and the K3. One thing I don't care for with the digimodes is the need to drive the transceiver with audio out from the PC. Messing with the drive levels and being wary of PC audio sounds is a turn off. The K3 has PSK-D which provides a nice facili
