It seems that the fldigi in the ubuntu repositories is too old. I just grabbed
the most current source code and will build it Sunday night. I am about to turn
in for the night.

My own 27 foot sloop is part of the reason I am interested in pskmail. I am
also interested in it for emergency communications. At the moment I am out of
work, so I have to do this on the cheap!

My main radio is an SGC-2020. I use it mobile and in the boat. My hope is to
find something cheap and stable and if I can control it from one of my BSD or
Linux boxes for frequency changes based on time of day that would be great. I
am probably going to sell off some other stuff to finance a dedicated pskmail
server rig.
Thanks so much for all your help!
