[Ham-Mac] SCS PTC-IIex, PSK 31, RTTY

[Dick Kriss]

My error.... I misread John's message and assumed he already had
a SignaLink USB.  I have been very happy with the SignaLink USB
as it solves a lot of interface issues and it just about plug and play
if you order the correct cable for your rig.  I have no involvement
with SignaLink other than being a satisfied user.
