[Amps] Band Decoder, TS950

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

The microHAM Band Decoder has been discontinued for two years.  It 
was replaced by the Station Master which does (after configuration) 
follow nearly any computer controllable transceiver without the 
need for an active computer. 

See: http://www.microham-usa.com/Products/sm.html  The user manual 
is available at: http://www.microham.com/Downloads/SM_English_Manual.pdf
