I will give the Santa Cruz plugin trick a try. If it works, I'm already set, because I know the Santa Cruz already works right on digital modes (though I suppose the mic gain setting may need adjustment for SSB). Larry WO0Z PS, thanks to everyone trying to set me straight. A Universal Internet notwithstanding, I don't think this level of help is available on _any_ other radio, period.
