<DIV>NoMic and NoMicWhenPlay is probably in order to mute the mic that nothing
is send out by accident (default). But I see no further

<DIV>NOMICWHENPLAY allows you to cough, sneeze, eat, drink, burp, etc. while
your CQ LOOP is going, without having those sound go out over the air. :-)</DIV>

<DIV>NOMIC is useful for people who may find it easier to use an electret "PC
mic." to record DVK messages to the PC, and a dynamic mic. like a Heil HC-4
connected directly to the radio for live audio. The HC-4 usually doesn't
work very well if wired directly to a sound card MIC input, as that mic. is not
expecting to see the DC voltage that most PCs put on the sound card input (as
small electret mics require voltage to work). A tantalum blocking
capacitor is recommended when using an HC-4 wired into a PC. MIC BOOST is
usually required as well.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV>But if you don't have that capacitor, you could mount the PC mic. and
the Heil Mic. next to each other, then mute the PC mic. at all times
<I>except</I> when you want to re-record a message via Shift-F1.</DIV>

<DIV>What is MicWhenPlay for? Why would you add a mic signal to the playing
DVK signal?</DIV></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It allows you to talk over the DVK audio, to insert a serial number into a
pre-recorded message for example, or to use your voice to "override" the wrong
DVK message if you accidentally hit the wrong button, or forget to interrupt
your repeating CQ.</DIV>
