Title: Video - Hamtext on the Commodore VIC-20
Post by: RobertB on April 22, 2010, 12:38:52 AM
     At the February FCUG meeting, we had quite a demonstration of the cartridge, Hamtext, for the Commodore VIC-20 computer.  Hamtext and its accompanying interface can take the signal from a ham radio transceiver and show the results on the VIC-20's monitor.  Those results can be the translation of Morse code signals to ASCII (alphabetic letters shown on the screen).
     Well, I took a videocamera to the meeting and filmed a few minutes of the demo.  That video is now on-line!  Go to

and see a few minutes of the hardware used and what the monitor screen showed.

             Truly,
