You have the rigblaster configured properly.  The way to make it work is =
to put the rigblaster in auto and put your microphone input to the =
soundcard mic input.  If you use a heil headset this is easy.  You will =
need to adjust the audio properties of the mic on your soundcard mixer =
to get the desired audio.  With this set up, you will be able to play =
your recordings ala dvk and have vox.  Your other alternative with the =
rigblaster is to put it on auto so that your dvk will work and then use =
a ptt switch.  In my case it was a heil with a foot switch.  Good luck =
and cu in the test

  Subject: [WriteLog] RigBlaster setup help



  I have a RigBlaster interfaced to an FT-1000MP Mark-V.  I want to use =
it in the NAQP SSB this weekend.  I want to be able to set up the =
RigBlaster in AUTO and be able to key the radio with the software or =
with the radio's VOX.  As it is now I have to switch the RigBlaster to =
VOX to key the radio with the radio's VOX or switch the RigBlaster to =
AUTO to key the radio with the PC.  Is this a limitation of the =
RigBlaster or do I have the RigBlaster configured incorrectly?  The PC =
keys the radio with the RigBlaster in AUTO but the radio doesn't see any =
audio from the sound card.

  My set up.

  WriteLog, CW PTT on LPT/COMM pin 16
  FT-1000MP MARK-V
  RigBlaster    RS-232 cable to the PC
                Heil headset plugged into the RigBlaster
                              RigBlaster mike cable plugged into the =
radio
                              stereo cable from the pc's sound card =
speaker out to the RigBlaster IN jack

  Thanks for the help?

  Ed/W5TM
