Try the Buxcomm interface, the RASCAL (www.packetradio.com). Though you can
wire up a PC directly to the Pegasus (the pinout is documented in the manual),
I always like to isolate the analog sound card on a PC from the radio AF, and
short of rolling the whole thing yourself this is about the cheapest and most
foolproof way. We've got one of the older RASCAL kits on the Pegasus at the
PARC club and another one on a FT-817 as well. Works great with MixW, WinPSK,
DigiPan, everything we've tried it on !
The little plastic box is much improved in this year's model (RASCAL GLK or
GLX). But even the old plastic "cough drop" box was a tough little thing.
We've never had one break and it does the job and makes it possible to complete
the kit in an hour or so. There are fancier interfaces, and at higher prices,
but this one is a very good basic digital interface.
BTW - No business relationship, just a satisfied customer several times over !
VFB IMO !

Hi to all,
Just got the Pegasus and want to set up for digital,
I understand there is more than one way, would be looking for the best access
of
this mode to run with more than one version of software.
Thanks for any insite from those who have run this rig in its many factions
