Howard,

Nice to hear from you. I have a cochlear implant which I can use to hear 
the code. Since I'm also into computers I am interested in processing 
the output of the receiver digitally. I'm contemplating building some 
devices to do so. It may be possible to feed the output of the receiver 
directly into my implant without using a speaker. I'd like to get the 
receiver soon. If I get a tranceiver I won't be able to use the 
transmitter until I get my license. I live in an apartment, so I'm also 
concerned about TVI.

Actually, I had a general class license many years ago, but I never was 
much interested in dx or gabbing.

John
