2)  I still prefer my HAL 3K's but I'm entertaining choices for interfaces...

      Rigblaster Pro vs  US Interface/Navigator vs the MicroHAM.

      Anybody with thoughts  pro/con between them??


Rigblaster - these devices have always semed awfully pricy to me for something 
that doesn't contain a sound card.  It's a glorified adapter, though it does 
handle rig control nicely.  

I own a MicroHAM Digikeyer.

Pros - 

1. Contains a sound card, so there is no ambiguity about PC sounds not destined 
rfor transmission.
2. One cord (USB) connecting to PC and single cord to radio accessory jack.  
Nice if you use a laptop and swap it out on a regular basis.

Cons - Made in a former Soviet state.  I worry that drivers and software won't 
be avaiable in the future.
