[digitalradio] Interface within the rig?

2009-12-06 Thread Andy obrien
While reading Steve Ford's QST review of the Microham USB interface, I
was thinking about the enduring qualities of my Microham interface .
I also began to wonder when we might see transceiver manufactures
including this circuitry within a rig?  Just connect a USB cable to
the rig, hook audio cables from rig to PC, and off you go.  Isolation
circuits are reading established.

I'm told that the Kenwood TS-480 already has isolation circuits in its 
rear panel Audio in/out circuits as well as the usual computer control 
port with PTT, so you don't really need an external interface for that 
radio.

It also doesn't suffer from the TS-2000 syndrome of expecting audio 
input to the microphone when the computer control PPT is used.
