MMSSTV version 1.13A on the CQ-100 with Windows Vista
By Shu JO3KLS
MMSSTV version 1.13A can be used both of real radio and CQ-100.
When we use version 1.13A on real radio, we need some interface between transceiver and PC.
If we use version 1.13A on CQ-100 then we have to add “i” option on it
But we do not need any extra interface between CQ-100 and MMSSTV version 1.13A with “i” option.
This is the point that you just run CQ-100 and MMSSTV at the same time on your PC. Running only
