computer assisted receivers/tranceivers

Post by Glendale »

Can any one help! I would like some feed back on Winradio or ICOM type computer assisted receivers/ tranceivers. They are priced in the $1,500:00 to $2,000 bracket.

I also have an old CB radio call sign, are these call signs still being used and can I still use it?

Computer control usually works pretty well but tell us a bit more about what you're needing to do and we can give a better recommendation.

They haven't been issued for decades now, but you can still use it if you want.

Most modern transceivers are able to be computer controlled. As mentioned by Gavin more info is required.

but only if you are not intending to use an old CB callsign on the ham bands.
