Golly Barry. Why a MIXER? Why not just a system of cable and switches
to route audio from hither to yon. What does the MIXER function do for
you that switches cannot?
This is a serious question for me. I am not
just sparring or looking for an argument.
I really want one, by wife My wife keeps asking the
ULTIMATE FATEFUL QUESTION:
"What will it do that you cannot do already?"
And I am desperate to have a cogent answer, partly because I am a gadget
guy, like so many of us, and I desperately want one - and have never
been able to justify it on functional grounds!
I now use a couple of $10, 4-way AV switches to select various inputs
for computer recording and other purposes. I have a home brewed SO2R
switch for sharing mic/PTT/phones/ampkey/speaker devices between two
radios I constructed out of an old 2-way parallel port A/B switch. I
also use a Timewave DSP599zx, but it has its own dual channel inputs.
SO WHY A MIXER? Why not enough input selection switches for the
various devices? With my switches, I can route all radio output to both
computer sound card and DSP filter.
Again, this is a serious question I have been pondering for quite some time.
Happy trails.

Sorry, didn't do a great job of explaining that comment - I was referring
to a Behringer mixer with built-in mic preamps as being a great tool for
the ham shack, especially the older MX802/MX502 series that you can find
used on eBay. I always seem to be routing audio signals going in/out of
multiple rigs, connecting to soundcard, connecting to Timewave DSP, etc
etc. These mixers are greats tools for aournd $50.

Golly, Barry I don't see why you need a preamp
unless you are using the line-in input on the rig.
I would not put one on the front panel mic input.
Please explain what I am missing?
