hi Don - My request has gotten more involved since I first made it, since I
now also have to set something up on an FTDX5000, which does not have an
internal sound card. This is for a multi-2 setup where ideally you want
each operator to be able to sit down, record their 3 files, and go.
Off list I was sent a file describing how to set up to key an internal DVR
using radio commands from Writelog macros. That would be great if it works,
since both FTs have DVRs. If it works I'll report back.
Thanks! - jeff wk6i
