[Elecraft] Re laptop digital interface (Mac specific query)

[Paul Wilton]

There is another way.  Purchase a lead designed to extract video and audio from a 5Gen iPod.  It has a 4 pole 3.5mm jack at one end and 3 phono sockets on the other.  Connect the "video" (Yellow) phono to the line out via a blocking capacitor and a resistor divider.  Alternatively connect a small microphone to that port and place it on the speaker.

There was an official apple cable but it doesn't see to be stocked these days.  You can find cheaper ones on ebay - eg
