Only Ken would know for sure but I'm not aware of any revisions the last few
years that would have changed things.  If you find someone who makes these
interfaces or will make them, I'll buy two.  I have two MFJ voice keyers I'd
like to hook up to my computers via this circuit.  Yes, I should build them
myself but, after too many years as a design engineer and plenty of
soldering iron burns to prove it, I'd rather just buy all my ham stuff now.

Is the circuit in the CT manual with 4 transistors to key an external
voicekeyer still supported in CT?  I have an Icom 756PROII and I have bought
the special Heil headset/boom mic which works very well.  I would like to
key the 756 internal voice keyer with the function keys.

    (I would use my dvk, but the problem is there is about 8 volts on the
mic lead in Icom rigs.  In order to use the dvk, you need a cap to block the
voltage.  If you use the cap, the Heil built for the Icom will not work.  If
you use the regular Heil, there is not enough audio without the in-line amp.
If you use the amp there is an RF getting into the audio problem...)
