    Hello Daryl.

    Hi, Sean...

    You can do all you need from the front panel of a 718. It has computer cont SD>though if you want to do digital modes AFSK (which I still do with the SD>SignaLink you gifted me).

    The technology has gotten so complicated and daunting.

    It's a difficult thing to do. I squeaked by passing my Extra test. If they SD>told me I'd failed, I'd been disappointed but not surprised.

    I missed 13 on my Extra Exam...it was good enough for a pass, though.

    And, you can pull them out of the weeds better on digital.

    Usually, yes. I really love Feld Hell since you have to use what's between SD>your ears to decode and not the computer.

    There is a city I think in Michigan or Wisconsin, called Hell...and in
    the winter, they say "Hell Froze Over". <G>

    Daryl
