Thanks Steve.
It was a bit of a steel, so couldn't resist it as possibly a bit of a profit if it didn't work out!

That seems to be the trend.  The fellow I mentioned had also  picked up 
   a new or barely used Micro ham for a song.

I'm not using that setup myself, but he  seems to do quite well with it. 
   He uses Window Eyes,  and in a few months has over 170 countries on 
digital, using MMTTY for RTTY and Digipan for psk.

If I remember right, this thing uses virtual com ports and once we got 
everything talking to each other, it seems to work quite well, at least 
with Window Eyes.

I had considered a Microham a while back, and while I didn't go that 
way, I did run the software, and it seemed to work just fine with Jaws, 
but of course not connected to real hardware.



Good luck with yours, Steve KW3A
