The Signalink USB has it's own VOX circuit. An opto coupler. You will still have to make your own cables. Around $120. So the other options are cheaper. Bernie, KC9SGV Sent from my iPad

Chirp support for uBitx (was: Re: [BITX20] Implement a uBITX Memory Manager Program)
Ups... !!! We are working on similar approaches, but I'm on the draft board yet. Last night I was drafting a Chirp driver for the actual ubitx code I found here: https://github.com/afarhan/ubitx.git
