[1000mp] Logger/Rig Control for Mk V Field?

[Jim Smith]

Hi Blake,

We should probably take any further discussion of this off line as TRLog 
has its own reflector but I do have to say that NO TSRs, boot floppies 
or bat files are necessary to run the TR network.  TR does it all. 
 Haven't had any intermittencies or RFI problems on FDs I've been on 
using the TR serial network.

Why spend more money than you have to on a logging program and computers 
to run it?  Put the money you save into filters and have something even 
better.
