Not yet.
This is on my list of nodes to try out.
From what I've read I will need to set my radio up so that the radio's audio
gets sent to my computer in the same way that it does for modes like Ft8 and
others.
In order for me to use it though I will need to use my computer's mic to send
voice and it will translate the digital audio and send it over the air as
digital packets.

The best times for me to get on the radio are the weekends here in Florida so
maybe we can setup a time to get on the air and see if we have a path between
us.
