The picture of Mr Loew above shows a block diagram of a class D transceiver and it looks to be early generation stuff. I wonder if he had a handheld transceiver in his hands. Perhaps it was a projet to satisfy an assignment.

I think the sound issues of windows Guest on this emulator would be fixed with a remote pc connection to the Host pc. All emulators without this are prone to audio issues. Perhaps aLinux alternative would appeal?
