[WT-support] Band Data Output

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Win,

Do you know anyone who has made this work with Win-Test?  Looks like it
requires a special API, or a custom version of InpOut32.dll for 64-bit
Windows.  Uncharted territory.

John,

See this thread for best practices re. parallel port options with modern
computers:

Bottom line:  if your radio has no band data output, and your PC has no
ExpressCard or PCIe slots so you can add a true LPT port, you'll either
need a microHAM box, a new computer, or a new radio.

I also agree with M0CKE that driving your band decoder with the radio,
rather than with a computer, is the best way to go.  That way you can still
change bands automatically while your computer is rebooting.

73,
Bob, N6TV
