Hi Ken,

If you don't use any of the computer software with your station and none 
of the digital you probably don't have a computer connected to your 
radio. I you do have a computer connected then this approach is just a 
click-click away - not very complicated. No need to get a scope near the 
radio and no need to fuss much with signal levels to get it to work.

I sometimes forget how many complaints i see here about digital methods 
and computers connected to radios. I won't annoy anybody here any more 
with this stuff

73,

Bill  KU8H
