[RTTY] Commercial Interfaces

[Jay WS7I]

Nah, 100% Apple since Chen writes his own drivers and his own software 
and it always will work or no doubt he will make it work.  No RF 
problems, no windows drivers issues and no third party driver which is 
actually the problem in this case.  Layers on layers on layers.

My Mac works mighty fine.
