Default Ace MicroPro 8000 SS systems

MicroPro 8000 SS Systems

JLLayton and the Pipe: Thank you both for your excellent inputs on the above systems. Since I am a Ham (N9AYI) and a EE maybe I will keep a couple of them and upgrade to new technology as you suggest. Building was always something I enjoyed since the days of single channel and galloping ghost. In fact I built around 6 or 8 Digitrio systems, if you remember them. I still have 3 or 4 SS systems around. All on 27 Mhz, never updated to 6 Meters.

I understand that the M8K encoders are more complex and more subject to failure than newer encoder versions, but up until I quit using them a few years ago there was never any problems. I REALLY enjoyed the Ace PC interface which permitted total setup on the PC and then a download. Why my JR and Futaba still have nothing like that - even today!!

I will check the Web sites you so graciously listed and hope to converse with you folks more frequently on RCU. Thanks again for the input.
