[Elecraft] Using external sound card for digital modes

[Lyle Johnson]

Sonny,

Try this.

Go to SSB mode, then go to the menu item "MIC BTN" and rotate VFO A 
until it displays "OFF."  Also set MIC BIAS to OFF.

Then go back to data mode, plug in your cables and operate.

When you want to use the microphone again, go back to SSB mode and set 
up the MIC BIAS and MIC BTN for your particular microphone.

At this time, the MIC menu items can;t be changed inDATA modes, but that 
may change in the future.
