   Makes sense - but:

   Are there any rigs, rotors, etc. that have USB interfaces?
   (the USB version shouldn't really matter for the type of
   devices we'd be talking about).  I don't know of any ...

USB things are happening:  if you look at the AES catalog online,
you'll see something from Timewave called a HamHub.  Whether it would
take special support from WL, I don't know.

And I'd like to see if the USB "sound card" from the Soundblaster
folks can be used as a second sound card for WL.
