the all-star node sounds like a lot of fun. I thought o putting up something here, but need to get the usb radio interface gadgets. I wish i could just use the computer’s sound card and a serial port. I really want to ge tmy ts2000 set up as a frequency agile HF ramose base and then link that to the all-star and be able to access and control it remotely. I find it surprising how little info there really is on all-star.
