[TenTec] Pegasus AGC.

[w4chl at amsat.org]

Another tidbit on TenTec Pegasus and PSK31: we (PARC and OCRA clubs) have 
a Pegasus successfully running PSK31 (and other digital modes) including 
for a short time just prior to FD (see earlier post for voltage issues 
from batteries, anticipated problem, unanticipated failure of fix).  It 
runs quite nicely off a RASCAL interface from Buxcom (www.buxcom.com) to 
various laptops and desktop PCs tried.  Really like using MixW to get so 
many digital modes in one package ! Works fine using VOX to trigger, 
though when 2nd RS-232 port is available, can use that to key the Peg as 
well.

RASCAL interfaces are quite basic, but effective ! Easily tuned for rig, 
either if built up as kit or purchased pre-built. Nice to have xformer 
isolation on both sides of audio !

Cheers & 73s de Mark W4CHL
