NEW DIRECTIONS RADIO

NEW DIRECTIONS RADIO: "Radio amateurs, like many other people these days, are buying home computers. And regardless of how many additional uses he or she might plan for the machine, a ham purchaser almost always wants it to be part of a system of communication.

In theory at least, personal computers and ham rigs can be interconnected, and the combination can then be used to transmit and receive text by radio. Three types of codes are commonly employed for these transmissions: ASCII (standard computer code), Baudot (normal teleprinter code), and Morse (dots and dashes)."
