Looks simple enough to interface a PC soundcard to your base station.

Interested to see an non-propriatory alternative to Icom’s DV. I’ve a seriously-underused 2820 which I may just get rid of one of these days. I think DV is potentially a bit too ‘tech’ for Air Cadets, even on a specialist project basis, but happy to be wrong on that.

Now, what we still seriously need is an ACO-wide radio interlinking system (he said, re-igniting this topic)

An Echolink based service might be possible, but would require some funding to get an internet connection into the Tango.

Possibly a big project - too much for me.
