[App_rpt-users] USB Sucks Yay! The Sequel!

[David KE6UPI]

Steve, I think you should design a new PCI card for app-rpt radio world. I
use the 4 port PCI card my self. Works great.

Have fun designing and bring your new product to the radio market.

Oh by the way my other nodes use DMK URI and they work just fine.

A link to the 4 port cards. I don't think they are for sale anymore.

Good luck and *God's speed*, (Because I want it tomorrow) David
