Amateur radio interface for digital modes
As an amateur radio operator I like to make contacts all over the world. Besides voice (or phone), I frequently operate digital modes like JS8 or FT8. In my shack I use a bulky home made interface, which I named “Rig Interface”. It works perfectly well, but as I plan to do POTA, or Parks On The Air, I need something more portable. I could buy a commercial device, but where’s the fun in that? It is time for an updated design. It is time for “Rig Interface MK2”.
