My MFJ-1279 souncard interface enables me to operate just about any of the digital modes RTTY, MT63, PSK31, etc etc. except for CW I use a Bencher paddle because I am not much of a typist. I am an avid bowler and I like to travel and have operated portable from Kauai Hawaii and the island of St Maarten.
