The TX level output control is a blessing! It's the final touch to allow me to use the same settings for both voice and digital modes without readjusting the mic gain. On my setup the RigBlaster audio control is very touchy. Having set it to the very lowest setting that would provide output without overdriving the mic stages it meant keeping the mic level at below 3 (8:00 position) and required me to turn it up to the 12:00 position for SSB.
This is a great fine-tuning control! The matching Input control for RX with some gain would also be a nice touch!
