What is a "3-circuit phone plug?" I know about 1-circuit plugs [tip-sleeve providing one circuit] and 2-circuit plugs [tip-ring-sleeve providing two circuits -- tip-sleeve and ring-sleeve]. Is this referring to 2-wire and 3-wire plugs? I've seen on the list here that the wrong plug will blow the AF amplifier.
I followed the legends on the back panel and I don't use the front panel mic or headfone jacks. Where it said MONO, I use a 1-circuit plug, STEREO gets a 2-circuit plug. I use cables from Radio Shack between sound card and radio and they seem to work fine. I really hope I'm not screwing something up in my radio. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2011 Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2011 - www.cqp.org On 12/3/2010 12:38 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > James, > > That is incorrect.
