I. OVERVIEW
Do you need a way to save the text from your digital mode QSO for archival or hard copy printing? Or
perhaps need an official printed record of "Health & Welfare" radiograms handled at a disaster site? If so,
this USB card option will allow you to do just that ... and more!
In a nutshell, the USB add-on card makes your NUE-PSK Digital Modem more flexible and useful with its
ability to record QSO receive and transmit text to a USB flash memory stick for archival and remote
printing. The USB card also provides a serial connection to a PC and (later) a real-time clock/calendar
function for timestamping QSOs. The updated modem software contains the new keyboard commands
for controlling the USB card functions, plus a wonderfully-revamped and consistent set of text editing
commands.
The USB card fits into the existing modem enclosure with minimal modifications. The card occupies the
battery compartment, since most users let us know that they would gladly sacrifice the use of internal
batteries for this USB capability. (Battery operation of the modem is also a cool feature and it can indeed
run up to 8 hours on a pair of 9V batteries, but we found that most people use the modem with an
external source that also powers the transceiver.)
