Anyone compared LinRad to AOR's product?
http://www.aorusa.com/ard9800.html

Seems to me it would be real hard to justify $549. for their
hardware-plus-pc solution when LinRad does the same stuff for free and
needs no special hardware.

Between LinRad and Pactor III (still not available using any Linux app I
have identified) one could really make some neat things happen under
pretty tough band conditions -- a few bugs worked out and it would make
sense to recommend them to emergency communications folks!
