Hi Jim,

CQ100 sounds more like skype.  Its really computer to computer voip that has 
a virtual transceiver interface, but it has nothing to do with radio other 
than the fony radio interface!

Hi Bob,

I am with you there.
I would want 3930 to really be 3930.
Does the audio sound likeSSB?
I kind of doubt it but I just had to ask!

Hi,

First, I use echo link and remote hams occasionally.  I did have a
membership to cq100 but dropped it after one year.  The cq100 audio is
excellent and almost as good as skype, but cq100 has nothing to do with
radio.  It is a virtual radio or transceiver that displays on your computer
screen, but the frequencies that show on the display have nothing to do with
the frequencies transmitted via radio waves.  Lets say you pick a frequency
of 3.930 mhz.  Someone else might pick 3930 because they work 80 meters, but
they are simply working on a vvoip channel named 3930.  I guess some hams
have hooked up a few repeaters to CQ100, but I want to work through real
radios that have remote connections, but a holodeck with a virtual radio
just doesn't work for me!.
