Computer Control

After some trial and error, I managed to link my computer to my transceiver for computer control of the radio.  Works great.

KM4OLR

Official today as per the FCC.  My new radio call sign is KM4OLR (kilo mike four oscar lima romeo).  My primary interest is morse code so I will be on the air tonight practicing my code.  The picture below is my Bencher Iambic paddle for sending Morse.
