[Ham-Mac] hello and SignaLink USB question

[Jack Brindle]

Look in the Config window for each mode. There is a menu for Input  
and one for Output. The only thing that could cause problems is that  
you also need to select the channel (L or R). it will kind of seem to  
work with the wrong channel selected, but the signals won't quite be  
loud enough. Select the corect channel and things work nicely! For  
the SignaLink USB, the correct channel is the Left one...

This setup is actually pretty cool since it allows you to have a  
separate interface for different modes (not that I do...).
