Bill,
Great card in its day, though it did have a VERY loud signal on the low end of two meters. I could hear mine half a mile away. It was a DOS-era card, and you will probably find conflicts with modern versions of Windows. For about the $150 for an ISA-to-USB card, you can get a modern, supported interface.

Hi,
I picked up an old Kansas City Tracker, circa 1990, and was wondering if there is any way to use it with a modern computer. It is designed to plug into the ISA slot of a PC. I don't know much about computers, but my understanding is not modern computers no longer have ISA slots. Could it be adapted to plug into a USB port or something that a modern computer has?
