   Yes, I also recently requested that DATA A mode default to the LINE IN 
   jack, if there's not a  per-mode default for MIC SEL and GAIN.  The 
   built-in isolated data interface is great and I unplugged my 
   TigerTronics SL-1+ and used just two cables for digital modes.  But as 
   it is, you have to remember to change the MIC SEL setting and readjust 
   the MIC GAIN when you switch from SSB to PSK.

Hm, I'd not thought about changing the mike level.  I'd expect to set
the mike level for the mike, and then adjust the computer output
level, but that might be a problem.  It'd be useful to have separate
mike levels for each input, wouldn't it?

I'm normally a digital-modes only op, so it wasn't until I got into
'phone SS (with a cough) that I'd really thought about the issue.

   Odd that you mention the speech issue; just a couple of days ago I heard 
   someone in an SSB contest (before SS) on 14.070, probably a similar type 
   of wiring error.
