NEW SignaLink Plug & Play Jumper Modules
We have just added several new SignaLink "Plug & Play" jumper modules to fit a variety of radios including Yaesu, ICOM and Kenwood 8-pin round Mic jacks, the Elecraft K3 (rear panel), Yaesu 5-pin DIN Accy/Packet jacks, and Ten-Tec 5-pin DIN Accy Port Jacks.
These modules plug into the SignaLink in place of the supplied jumper wires that you would normally use to configure the unit. This makes installation or swapping radios much easier, and completely eliminates the possibility of installing the jumper wires incorrectly!

Check propagation paths with "WSPR" and your SignaLink USB
The November 2010 issue of QST magazine features a great article on the WSPR "Weak Signal Propagation Reporter" mode by Joe Taylor, K1JT. This special mode uses low power, narrow bandwidth transmissions (decodable with s/n ratios as low as -28db!) to determine where propagation paths are open. Reports consisting of the station call sign, power level and location are collected and displayed on a world map at WSPRnet.org, a web site devoted to WSPR and maintained by Bruce walker, W1BW. For more information on this awesome propagation tool, please see the November 2010 issue of QST magazine, and visit www.WSPRnet.org.
The SignaLink USB works GREAT in Linux
Many of our customers have confirmed that the SignaLink USB works very well with the Linux Operating System, using a variety of programs including fldigi, and gMFSK. One of our customers, Ken Hopper - N9VV, has written a nice article about his experience installing and operating the SignaLink USB in Linux. We would like to express our thanks to Ken for sharing this with us, and to the authors of fldigi and gMFSK, W1HKJ - David Freese and OH2BNS - Tomi Manninen, for their tireless effort in developing and updating these programs.
NOTE: The Linux operating system is not officially supported by our chipset manufacturer, or Tigertronics. We will do our best to help you get your SignaLink working in Linux if you call for Tech Support, but please understand that we do not run this OS ourselves, so support for it will be very limited. If you are not familiar with installing and configuring software/hardware in Linux, then we strongly suggest that you use a different OS with your SignaLink.
