[Ham-Mac] Griffin iMic

[Dick Kriss, AA5VU]

Steve,

There is no issue with the Yaesu FT-1000 rig. The interface issue seems to
be unique to the Kenwood TS-570. Other FT-1000 users have no problem with
the Griffin iMic.  The only reason I selected the SignaLink SL-1+ interface
was there Auto-PTT that was a clean way to key the radio and let me ditch
the VOX.
