 ### Decoded Information from Radio Emissions for Windows Or Linux Fans ###
 
-In the early days of Amateur Packet Radio, it was necessary to use an expensive “Terminal Node Controller” (TNC) with specialized hardware.  Those days are gone.  You can now get better results at lower cost by connecting your radio to the “soundcard” interface of a computer and using software to decode the signals.

 Why settle for mediocre receive performance from a 1980's technology  TNC using an old modem chip?   Dire Wolf decodes over 1000 error-free frames from Track 2 of the [WA8LMF TNC Test CD](https://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf/tree/dev/doc/WA8LMF-TNC-Test-CD-Results.pdf), leaving all the hardware TNCs, and first generation "soundcard" modems, behind in the dust.
