I did an inpractice comparason between uh7ho soundmodem and a mfj 1278 
multimode tnc at 300 baud packet on 10.151 lsb.
Any packet i could recognise on the waterfall was decoded by the 
soundmodem but the mfj decoded ZERO packets after days of trying, both 
the tnc and soundcard where connected in paralel to the patch af out of 
a ft-757gx.

So next time someone claims a tnc works better then soundcard at 
decoding I will just shake my head.
