Bill,

Great card in its day, though it did have a VERY loud signal on the low end
of two meters.  I could hear mine half a mile away.  It was a DOS-era card,
and you will probably find conflicts with modern versions of Windows.  For
about the $150 for an ISA-to-USB card, you can get a modern, supported
interface.

73s,

Subject: [amsat-bb] Kansas City Tracker with a modern computer?

Hi,

I picked up an old Kansas City Tracker, circa 1990, and was wondering if
there is any way to use it with a modern computer.  It is designed to plug
into the ISA slot of a PC.  I don't know much about computers, but my
understanding is not modern computers no longer have ISA slots.  Could it be
adapted to plug into a USB port or something that a modern computer has?  

73, Bill NZ5N
