Why bother? Add Don's fixed level output and use one of the
$20 - $25 USB soundcards. A lot less expensive and every bit
as effective/functional as the Signalink. If you need the
automatic soundcard VOX make up the KH6TY interface from QST
without the transformers (circuit boards from Far Circuits)
- still a lot less expensive than Signalink.
