FT-847 on PSK-31?	Reply

Getting back on air on PSK-31 after a few years off. Using FT-847 which has no vox. Any recommendations on sound card/usb based hardware/software that will work easily with the FT-847? Have old Kamplus but looks like much easier to buy new hardware. 73 Roger Cooper N3RC

hi Roger, VOX is not needed if you use the signalink interface from Tigertronics. the newest model is usb and has sound card built in. I use the older sl 1+, both do not need any serial ports to work. http://www.tigertronics.com/ 73 james

VOX is not requied if you make your own interface using a single common transistor, a couple of diodes, a resistor, and a few connectors--all for LESS than 5 bucks. Google 'sound card interfaces' for schematics on making your own interface for far less money than buying the commercial made units.

Off-the-wall: . . . Why not use a footswitch? Step on it when sending. I'm using a BuxComm Rascal, which has a line to key the rig. I think it's the least expensive of the commericial interfaces. Charles
