Yeah.  The one piece of advice I have is that in my setup (using a rig
blaster), I find that, at least on our Sunday night FM tests, I have to turn
the volume way down on my IC7000, otherwise it comes through very loud, and
sometimes the computer can't decode it because it's overdriving the PC
microphone (regardless of whether I use microphone in or line in).

Anyhow, good luck!!!
