[1000mp] computer control problem

Fri, 29 Nov 2002 13:36:09 -0500

Commander is available via www.qsl.net/dxlab/download.htm -- installation is
a two-step process, as described on this site. Besides providing transceiver
control, it can display and save the messages being exchanged by your MarkV
and your PC; you may find this a useful debugging aid.
