Hi there I'm looking to buy one of these units, did you get it to work digital modes? Any advice on the transceiver? Do you still have the transceiver? I've only found information from Russia or Philippines. Sorry total noob here.
ReplyDeleteThanks and 73
Hi. It works fine with digital modes I was using it for PSK mail on 30m . I still have the transceiver and still works fine.
