[TenTec] Anyone got a comment on the FP?

[Jim FitzSimons]

Phil, the FP DEMO does not even have a computer interface yet.
Ten Tec may use the same computer interface as the Omni VI+.
The future firmware for the FP could have keyboard CW, PSK31, and 
RTTY. I assume for PSK31 and RTTY it would have a decoder also.
The FP has a computer inside which can run larger programs than
the pegasus.
