	I hope I have this correctly addressed as I do not send much mail to  
reflectors.

I have the following equipment:  Powerbook G4, Rigblaster Plus  
interface, K2 (SSB, Tuner, NB, KIO2,  etc., but no high power)

Question(s)
-is anyone out there running a similar physical setup?
-Successfully?
-what program(s) do you use for digital modes?
-is a Rigblaster necessary to run Mac programs?
-if it is, do you run a USB/serial adapter to the serial port on the  
Rigblaster as well as the line from the computer USB port to the KIO2  
port on the K2 by the special cable required for that interface?  In  
other words, do we need two control cables?
-how do you handle audio in and audio out?  What is your cabling  
setup for this?

I have spent a considerable time on this and seem to get confused.   
The light at the end of the tunnel may well be a train, not  
understanding.

Part of the confusion is likely due to my PC sitting here eagerly  
awaiting my capitulation and my return to Windoze to run ham radio  
digital programs.

Now you know how confused I am;-)
