(A pretty good one too.  They also sell the  \nTigerTronics Signalink USB which contains a USB-based sound chipset  \nthat \"looks\" like a secondary sound card to the PC, which has a VOX  \ncircuit for keying).\n\nhttp://www.tigertronics.com/sl_soft.htm\n\nThere's a LOT of ways and a LOT of software out there for the various  \ndigital modes that will work with a sound card, a simple audio  \ninterface and some way for the PC to key the rig.  Almost too many to  \ndescribe all the options.\n\nWhat kind of rig do you have Bob?  Perhaps the group can tell you the  \neasiest and cheapest way to get it going for APRS.  Some software is  \nfree, other software costs a few bucks, but it's far cheaper than  \nanything using a real TNC will be.\n\n--\nNate Duehr, WY0X\[email protected]\n\n\n\n",
