Subj : The Weekly ARRL Lett To : SEAN DENNIS From : Daryl Stout Date : Tue Sep 24 2019 13:47:00 SD>Hello Daryl. Hi, Sean... SD>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. SD>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. SD> DS> And, you can pull them out of the weeds better on digital. SD>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".
