[Ham-Mac] Yaesu 857 and Mac, what do I need?

[Randy Terrell]

#1. Buy yourself an Imic Audio to USB interface off ebay!   Works great 
and really convenient to use the front USB port for both transmit and 
receive audio.  Basically retired all
my sophisticated interfaces and just use the Imic direct to both 
FT-1000 and TS-2000X in VOX mode.  cocoModem by Kok Chen is the way to 
go for the Digital modes.
