Hi Jim; I too have the Rigblaster Pro and am using an FT-857 for Echolink and digi modes as well. I am using a headphone and mic combo for Echolink. The ports on my machine I have it plugged into are Line out on sound card for the headphone audio. Mind you there also is a plug in there aready going to the Pro. I just picked up at Radio shack a jack that allows me to put two plugs into one jack..anyway the mic is also pluged into the sound card. It is in the pink mic jack. Try going to the echolink test server again. This time before you run a test go to Tools-Adjust volume-recording. In there I have my mic box checked and the slider is about 2 notches from the top. I have an advanced box option as well. If you do click on it and I have the Boost option checked as well. You could just be having Mic troubles as well..have you tried another mic to see how it works ?? Anyway I hope the above helped you, do let me know. Mike VE3WDM
