Thanks, the Getfax program which works with airmail does not seem to
suppport the pk232. I have tried without sucess.




Steve, why not get the old PK-232 box out of the WEFAX loop and use a
program that lets the computer and soundcard do all the work? There are
a lot of them out there. Just plug the computer sound card input
straight into the audio output of the receiver, even the headphone jack.

We're using this one on a Dell Latitude notebook and printing them on a
tiny HP injet printer I've forgotten the model number of at the moment.

There are many others. Google on:

WEFAX software

and you'll get lots of hits.

PK-232s were necessary back in the DOS days when you didn't have the
computing power or OS to do the modem work. That's easy, now, with
modern computers.....

If you really want to see something cool done directly by your computer
with sound, go get Winwarbler from:

and tune your receiver on USB, not RTTY, to 14.070 Mhz and copy TWO
stations on PSK31 at once! PSK31 and its newer versions is a ham radio
teletype mode that only uses 31 Hz of bandwidth to type faster than you
can type....perfectly on a signal you can barely make out in the noise!
