Subject: Anyone tried RadioCom 4.0???
The demo for RadioCom 4.0 _looks_ like it would have some useful
features (Windows 98 interface, cw & rtty send/receive using the sound
card, etc.)--but unlike any other demo this one doesn't actually operate
your station, it just provides a "mock-up" of the operation with dummy
data.
Since (obviously) this provides no opportunity whatever to
determine what the program is actually like in operation, I would be
interested to know if anyone has actually purchased/used the software
and if so how well it works. In particular, I would be using it with a
Yaesu FT-920 connected to a Gateway GX-450xl box with dual xeon
processors and the SoundBlaster AudioPCI 64D soundcard (which works
great with ChromaPix using the interface design provided on the
ChromaPix site). The computer is already set up to control the rig via
TRX-Manager and has no problems with that operation either.
My major interest is in finding a Windows 98 compatible program
that uses the sound card to send/receive cw & rtty (I've tried CW Get &
CW Put--CW Get I've had "mixed" results with [it copies, but with an
enormous number of errors compared to, for example, an MFJ-1278B] and CW
didn't work with my system [required a HamComm interface???]).I haven't
found any other cw programs for the windows environment and the only
rtty program I've found at all is dos based. RadioCom 4.0 _appears_ to
be suited to my needs (recommendations for any other applications that
would handle these modes would be _very_ welcome--particularly if they
have demos or shareware versions that you can try before buying as did
all the ham software [TRX-Manager, Logic5, ChromaPix, etc.] I currently
own) as would feedback on RadioCom 4.0 itself.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments.

I see them pretty regularly at Ham fests and swap meets. There's usually a
few of them for sale on packet, and I'm sure there are a number of sources
for them, here on the Internet. (E-bay, etc.)
Sometimes you can get them for free, or next to nothing, and they are much
better suited to our uses (packet networking) than most regular ham gear.
I hear of Mitreks, Micors, Master II's, and several others. These seem to be
the most popular.
Steve made a great suggestion, but I won't be using it since one of my
personal criteria is that what I do should be easy to duplicate by any of my
fellow appliance operators. Sure, I know a local Ham who has the expertise
and equipment to help me out with converting a couple of Master II's, but
for the purposes of this experiment, I'll be pretending that there is no
assistance available, and it all has to be so cheap and simple that even I
could do it.
That's why I'm mucking around with old scanners, HT's, and so on. It's not
the optimum way to do this, by far, but optimum is not what I am shooting
for. I'm looking for something reasonably effective that just about any ham
can do without assistance or a lot of money.
I also know that impressive performance from unimpressive equipment will
serve to highlight the fact that the fulldup link is the one and only reason
it performs better than a standard old 1.2 halfdup link.

That's what I am shooting for. Amazing performance from commonly used,
inexpensive equipment set up in a way that just about any old appliance
operator could easily duplicate.
I'm also trying to demonstrate fulldup to US hams, who are generally
ignorant of the benefits it offers.
I know it sounds pretty stupid to do such a thing at 1.2kb, but remember
that it is not high-speed packet I am trying to demonstrate, but rather
