[aprssig] IGATE at Home

[Mike Galgano]

I like UI-View. Once you get through a relatively simple setup, it just 
goes and goes. I haven't tried anything else, don't need to. There are 
lots of arguments for it, and a few against it. The strongest argument 
against it is that many people believe something will 'go wrong' with 
the software that can't be fixed, as the author - Roger Barker, G4IDE 
became an SK just over a year ago.

There are add-ons available, and I will shortly add my new WMR968 wx 
station to my setup.

The UI-VIEW yahoo group is very helpful, as well.

Good luck with it, whatever you choose.

The MFJ works ok in some firmware versions, but not others (needs to at 
least support KISS). I mothballed my MFJ and built a TNCx. Under 
software control, KISS is all that is required, though a fully capable 
TNC can answer when the PC burps.

Regards,

There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.
