If you look at http://www.writelog.com/support/wlso2r.pdf it shows how to set up the mike for SSB contesting. If you ignore the Left Rig and the W5XD Multi+ keyer and just look at the Right Rig and microphone setup you will see how to keep the audio from the other ops out of your mike.

In N1MM configurer you can select the line to mute when playing wav files. This is also mostly the Mic input. Check http://pages.cthome.net/n1mm/html/English/BasicFunctions.htm#Recording_Wav_files for recording info.

I have found that if the MON level is turned up so you can hear yourself, with MIC + Line in you will get feedback when you activate PTT. I'm assuming this will not happen if the mike is plugged into the sound card.

Also, if you want to record both TX and RX audio in the contest you have to select =PHONES. This will send TX & RX audio to the sound card at a level controlled by the AF Gain control (NOT Line Out level) and possibly overdrive your sound card.

I tried to use a K3 in the IOTA contest on SSB but ran into a problem.
I couldn't figure out how to satisfactory key the K3 with wave
files from N1MM Logger and also use a Heil Headset. Reading the manual it appears that you can have audio input from ONLY the front panel, rear
panel, OR line in. The wave files were coming via the line in and the
mike via the Front panel. Did I over look something?

A fellow team member and I considered paralleling the mike and sound
card input but we didn't want a live mike while wave files were playing.
The Elecraft web site says that their digital voice recorder (KDVR3) is
not yet shipping. For now, does this mean that that I have to use my
MFJ voice keyer (configured for a Kenwood radio) if I want audio files AND mike capabilities?

When using a K3, how are others handling SSB contests?
