[TenTec] 560 Problem

[William Evans]

i can use the rig in this manner even without the preamp!  Maybe I do 
not need the preamp after all...  I am learning, after all these years, 
how to properly use a rig.  Now to brush up my CW....or to find a 
program which will allow me to connect my computer to the key in jack, 
since my ability to type is so much better than my ability to write....
