    We had this point already somewhere. When i recall corretcly, the point simply is, if you(r browser) don't identify with some "commonly known and accepted" OS, then many websites simply refuse to work correctly, or block you complelety.

    I was on 27mc packet radio in Eurooe long ago. There's not much left of it, afaik. The bandwidth goes in bytes per second... At some point truckers started buying break devices to bug the protocol of bidirectional radio links on their channels.

    Yes. An FTDI UART with a minidin 6 on the rig end. I had been using a similar cable which used that problematic Prolific chip. I managed to work around that POS, but decided to move over to the FTDI instead. The above works with Flrig under...
