Thanks for the link, David.
 I have my own take on this, which is more generic and differs a bit from 
Eric's.  Part of it is because I run SO2R feeding my mic through a YCCC 
box, but mostly it's the result of my greater understanding of audio and 
the fundamental causes of hum and buzz. And I prefer solutions that are 
effective, free, and simple. :)

 All of this advice applies to both SSB and digital modes, except that I 
no longer recommend using most internal sound cards for digital modes 
because inexpensive USB sound cards work a lot better.

Jim,
Good stuff, thanks!
 I also recommend K3NA's article on adjusting SSB audio chain.  While 
specific to Orion, the principles are adaptable any any rig.
