[Ham-Mac] MixW on a mac?

[Dick Kriss]

Rich KI4FW,

I don't think Chris uses a SignaLink and it 'may' be attenuating or changing
the signal from your Icom.  As a test can see if you can bypass the SL-1?  I
could not bypass the SL-1 without getting another 13-Pin connector cable.

FYI, I tried to bypass the SL-1 by using a jumper from the EXT Speaker
output to the input of the iMic and has no joy.  I was never able to get a
signal through the iMic to my Mac G4 via the USB port.

I took the iMic over to N9TX's QTH and tried it in his Icom 706 with and
without the SL-1 and we could see a noticeable drop in receive signal.   At
least he was getting something through the iMic.  Yes, I know the iMic is an
A to D converter but my experience is it acts like an attenuator on the Rx
side.  I finally gave up screwing around with the iMic for receive and only
use it for transmit.

Let me know if you find a solution and I will try again.  The lack of
external audio line-in port has kept me away from the iBook.
