Hi Don You answered and confirmed my suspicion. I suspect since I have a new Elecraft cable and the sound card only has the MIKE input that it is MONO. Do you know of a USB sound card that you will work? I would rather by something good that I know will work than spend money on something cheap that may not. I have got my use out of this sound card on digital ham programs.
