I have been using the DXDUSB as the interface for my DX Doublerfor a couple years now, and what I really wanted to do is to have a DX Doubler with the USB interface "built-in." Well, the idea of actually working the DXDUSB into the DX Doubler design died when they decided to pull the... Continue Reading →
