- A while ago, I talked with a vendor of software for the 7000/7100,
- Deltacomm, and found that the squelch and signal level software
- interface requires modifications to the receiver. The squelch info
- is available from the signal indication light on the panel, but
- the signal level requires, in their design, use of an A/D. I
- think they use the meter voltage, but I don't remember for sure.
-
- Deltacomm's literature for the 7100, however, mentions a software
- squelch detection option (default) that is sent over the CI-V
- channel. The hardware squelch option is said to be twice as fast.
-
- The Deltacomm software for the 7100 is $357, so I didn't purchase
- it. I believe other shareware alternatives exist, but don't have
- any information.
