Just plug in standard PS2 keyboard and connect modem directly to SSB-capable transceiver. Other digital modes coming soon. Field-upgradable software. Graphic display shows Tx and Rx text data, band spectrum and tuning indication. Requiring only 60ma operating current (typ), the modem forms an effective, compact, and portable station for working the digial modes on the amateur bands. Comes with unterminated cable for connection to radio. (User must add connector for specific transceiver being used. See options for pre-made cables below.)
