That can has been sitting there, empty, for at least 3 years. Them were good peanuts.
If I had some, I'll be more than happy to pass them.
Clean your shack once in a while, OM. ;)

The SinaLink was a purchase after the initial setup and make a comment in the last line.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Something-Ive-been-meaning-to-post-23270327 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 11:15:36 EDT Re: Something I've been meaning to post... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Something-Ive-been-meaning-to-post-23270077
I use the SignaLink USB for casual digital modes but my radio (Kenwood TS-2000) has good RTTY filters but I need to be in FSK mode which the SignaLink doesn't support so I use a homemade custom cable for FSK.

Enjoy!

As a former broadcaster, I am a little obsessed with microphones, so I have added the MD-200 to this rig. Since my shack is in my great room and also doubles as my a desk when I work at home, it's a cool addition in my mind. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Something-Ive-been-meaning-to-post-23269791 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 08:01:55 EDT Re: Something I've been meaning to post... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Something-Ive-been-meaning-to-post-23269416 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Something-Ive-been-meaning-to-post-23269416 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:37:57 EDT Re: Something I've been meaning to post... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Something-Ive-been-meaning-to-post-23269371 I've got a BuddiPole I use with my Elecraft K2. Great antenna system. I've used in both dipole and vertical configurations, and it always amazes me how well it works.

Purchased it as part of a kit from a local Ham whom was getting rid of it due to cut back in hours at work.
The kit was as followed:
Yaesu FT-897D with the "internal" power supply (FP-30).
Software plus CAT cable
LDG AT-897 Tuner
LDG Meter
Plus, a Pelican case for the transceiver setup.

Buddipole Deluxe system

A very nice grab and go kit.

Would have never discovered the offering had I not been on Craigslist of all places at one in the morning.

I haven't had much of a chance to really start using it. Been trying out for an hour or so every night I get a chance too.

Don't have any permanent antennas yet. So when I do have the opportunity I'm using it with the Buddipole.

SignaLink was to satisfy my desire interest with digital forms. Main reason for the purchase it the netbook I own only has one audio port. Either mic or speakers, not both.
