New setup

Instead of working in the garden as I should on this beautiful spring day, I decided to reorganize my radio shack. Here's a picture of the new layout of the scanners:

CE-232 runs in DOSBOX

Thanks to KC2RGW for this great tip on running older radio control software on newer machines. An Open Source program called DOSBOX runs an emulator under Windows XP and simulates a DOS machine running at 286/386/486 speeds - just what the CE-232 interface wants to see. No more crashes and hiccups because the computer is too fast, and best of all I can use the computer for all the other normal tasks because DOSBOX only uses 10-15% of the CPU. It was up and running within minutes of download.
