[Linrad] Re: MAP65 for SDR-IQ

[Edward Cole <acsalaska.net; kl7uw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

I am deffinitely interested.  My eme system is H/V switchable in Rx 
and Tx independently, so I can tap off 2m in the shack to my DEMI 
144/28 + SDR-IQ whihc is connected to the computer via USB-2.0.  I 
have an earlier version of MAP-65 and winrad and JT-65 all on a Dell 
Vostro duo-core2 2.33 Gb computer (win-XP-Pro).
