[WriteLog] WL DVK w/ Rigblaster Pro

[Bryan Swadener via WriteLog]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the reply.  I tried the Echo Microphone option as well as the other Sound Board settings, to no avail.

I don't want (or need) to run the microphone thru the PC for processing. The latency also messes me up, since I use the monitor function of my TS850S. I use an outboard box (Symetrix 528E) to flatten the dynamic range. With some EQ and the TS850's built-in speech processor, my TX audio has A LOT of punch.

Tech support at West Mountain says the RB Pro shouldn't be using the "Process" function when sending computer audio, and microphone audio should work thru the box w/o being in the "Process" mode.  It's bassackwards but, worked at one time. Perhaps I should post this to a RB reflector.

And, when the switch is in the "Process" position, it does NOT pass microphone audio to the rig. Microphone audio is passed to the rig only when the switch is not in the "Process" position. PTT works but, the only time the Rigblaster "PTT" LED comes ON is when connecting to the PC when the PC sees it. I spoke with West Mountain Radio support. We believe there's a problem with communication between WL and the Rigblaster box, possibly a configuration issue in WL.
