Thanks to Gary, AL9A, Nodir EY8MM, Rich, K3RWN and many others, I found out
how to use those wave files for SSB. I need to make up one more cable,
though to be in busines.
It is just took me 54 emails back and forth and 4 hours night work and I am
good at the moment.
Help Manual in WL MUST be improved, I am sure of that, what a shame... It is
easy if you know how to do this, hihi
Thank you again, guys.
