The BBxM has a daughter board called the LOX for I/O to 2 radios. In my conversations with Jim, he really liked the Beagle and LOX combination. Or was it bagels and lox? I was never quite sure. Jim wanted me to make sure I continued to support the BBxM/LOX. We had existing users and they should not be left out in the cold. I agreed.

Something of a thorn in my side. I do not know how many users are out there. I do not know if the BBxM is still available. I do not know if DMK is still selling LOX board. But, a promise is a promise so here we go.
