Universal box, but what do you use to gather and present your data? The digital suite that is sold seems to be only for windows.
Like most things worth having, a solution will eventually present itself, especially on Linux. There is a Linux, open source, solution in the form of Linradio. Enjoy. -
Well, not quite the same thing
Just because HAMs like myself tend to be hardware geeks does not necessarily mean we're software geeks too... though we probably pick it up a lot faster than the average joe. Just the tendency to tinker probably leads some HAMS to linux.
I'm an amateur operator, and I run windows AND linux. I'll admit, Windows is primarily for gaming, but there are some HAM-type applications that just are not as robust under linux. Here's a good example:
Winradio is a wonderful piece of scanning equipment, whose software runs best under windows. Yes, I'm aware of Linradio but the software is not as full-featured.
I'm sure other amateurs can come up with other examples. Personally, I'd like to know how many amateur operators run completely SANS windows. I'd lay even money that Bruce Perens doesn't own a windows box, so there's one...

Yup :-)
Funny you say that... http://www.linradio.com/
This is a software-defined-radio PCI card. -
ISA is not dead
I have several ISA devices that I still use...
One's a modem (a REAL modem that I can configure with jumpers, that works under linux... don't even get me started on winmodems)
I also have a WINRADIO (or LINRADIO under linux); Those come as ISA cards if you get the internal version...
Yes, I know it's a dinosaur hardware interface, but I still find it useful... and I'll bet I'm not the only one. Hardware may find itself deprecated and unsupported (Apple's Newton, anyone?), but still useful.
