much better to load the data directly to the laptop screen, which you will have to do anyway
Thanks for the response Mr. Talbot.

Well, this gizzmo, the FAX 4 weather fax demodulator does not need a laptop...It connects between the printer and the SSB.

Yes, a lap-top would certainly be a more uh, modern option, it is also a matter of cost.
I don't own a lap-top PC right now and a good one would cost me several hundred dollars used...Or pre-Owned as they say these days.

To hook up and complete this Weather Fax system, I only need a 12 volt printer, found one at e-bay for $33.50 or so plus shipping.

Thanks for the links, I will surfe the sites.
