[DARARepeater] Thursday Night

[Steve Reed]

 The Thursday Night Group will meet Thursday, December 18   at 7:00 PM.


*This week we will be talking about connecting our "Easy Digi" kits to our
radios and computers.  There is also a popular mod to the circuit that lets
the computer key the radio in a way that requires no connection to the
serial or parallel ports.*



*In previous meetings members of the Thursday night group have assembled a
kit called the "Easy Digi".  *


*This kit is an interface that lets you connect your  ham transceiver to
your computer for the purpose of digital communications.  Some time ago
(before our new beautiful classroom was constructed) Mark N2OJD did a demo
on the "FLDigi" software.  This is one of the most popular software
packages available for digital communications.  Maybe we can run another
demo this week?? Mark??  I will try real hard to get mine done but i will
be connecting it to some sort of VHF\UHF HT.  *


*"Easy Digi" kits are sold on eBay*
