I'm still using my 30 year old FT1000D. I assume your scripts access a 
radio's built in keyer and voice memories (if available). I don't have 
the Yaesu DVK unit.

Here's what got me started thinking about one of high dollar appliances: 
It's all about phone, even though I never operated much phone. I've been 
tearing my hair out the last couple of weekends trying to get a good 
voice keyer going using stuff I had going good 20 years ago (MFJ-1275 
based). I don't have much more hair to lose...

I've tried the sound card alone method, but have not succeeded in 
getting Win-Test to mute the mic during message playback.

When I bring the 1275 into the mix, I'm getting some strange low-level 
background garbage that I can't seem to cure.
