RETURNING TO HAM RADIO: FLEX 1500/PowerSDR -and- Selected Digital Software

Don Hamrick

I spent several days searching Google and YouTube to see all the available digital software available today. I selected, downloaded, and installed 5 third party digital programs: (1) Ham Radio Deluxe; (2) Fldigi; (3) RMS Express; (4) MultiPSK; and (5) TrueTTY. I think those 5 programs with PowerSDR rounds out my digital modes very well. I am open to suggests for other programs that I did not select.

They will sit on my laptop until March 1 when I can buy the rest of the FLEX 1500 accessories to get it on air. I cannot afford Pactor 4 with the SCS modem. Pactor was my favorite at sea when I was a merchant **** traveling all over the world (1988-2007).

The big job comes when I start configuring all the programs to the FLEX 1500. That is going to be a huge job for me. If only I could find a bunch of YouTube tutorials to take me through it all step by step. Searching YouTube is going to be another big chore.
