<DIV><FONT face=Fixedsys>I have a RigBlaster interfaced to an FT-1000MP Mark-V.&nbsp; I want to use it in the NAQP SSB this weekend.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; As it is now I have to&nbsp;switch the RigBlaster to&nbsp;VOX&nbsp;to key the radio with the&nbsp;radio's VOX or switch the RigBlaster to AUTO to key&nbsp;the radio with the PC.&nbsp; Is this a limitation of the RigBlaster or do I have the RigBlaster configured incorrectly?&nbsp; The PC keys the radio with the RigBlaster in AUTO but the radio doesn't see any audio from the sound card.</FONT></DIV>
