[RTTY] DXP-38- keep it or sell it?

[WS7I]

All I can tell you is to check with Don AA5AU as I know that he like
many is running a pair of DXP-38's along with MMTTY.  On certain bands
(low bands) they generally give you an edge in some respects.  Having
hardware and software modems and both copying at once is a real plus
at times.

FWIW the Hal units DXP-38 DSP4100 play very well.

But there is a ready market for them as well.

I no longer have a computer with serial ports and was wondering if the DXP-38 was worth the USB to serial cables. I know it's juts a few bucks, but sometimes less is more, i.e. keep it simple.
