The only good reason I can think of for using the SignaLink is if that's 
all you have and you can't afford to replace it. It is NOT a good audio 
interface. More times than I can count, I've posted a link to my 
recommendations for much better audio interfaces that are MUCH cheaper, 
AND they're stereo. That means, for example, that with two VFOs or two 
receivers, you can have two instances of WSJT-X running either copying 
different frequencies or doing diversity reception! In addition to WSJT 
modes, I use my stereo sound card to do SO2R SSB and RTTY contesting.

And as Don has noted, the SignaLink derives PTT from the audio stream by 
a process known as VOX.  :) Your rig can do that as well.
