Computer connections are required only for K1JT's wonderful digital 
modes that allow "rip and run" QSOs through strong noise,and/or with low 
power and/or compromised antennas. For CW, all you need is an antenna 
and a key/paddle. For SSB, all you need is a mic. The speaker doesn't 
get very loud (to conserve battery life), but plenty good enough for 
quiet places if you're not hearing impaired. Very limited RTTY and PSK31 
operation can be done with a paddle.
