<DIV>This should not affect the DVK MIC input. If it does, two sound cards
will be required, one for audio recording and one for DVK. USB sound cards
are probably the easiest. If you have a microHAM MK2R+, it already
provides two sound cards, one called USB Voice Codec can be used for the
Win-Test DVK, and the second called USB Audio Codec can be used for contest
recording or RTTY.<BR></DIV>

<DIV>Under Windows XP, using a sound card with only a single MIC input, no LINE
input, I am able to use all functions of the Connexant HD Sound Card built into
my Lenovo ThinkPad at the same time with no errors (F1, Shift-F1, and contest
recording all work simultaneously). I even fired up the Windows Sound
Recorder and was able to use it at the same time as well. It's possible
that sound card input sharing may not work under Windows 2000, or with certain
sound card drivers. Be sure you are using the latest available for your
operating system.</DIV>

<DIV>Again, it sounds like a function of the sound card driver and/or operating
system version as to whether sound card input sharing is supported or not.
A third party program like Virtual Audio Cable may help, but it is complex
to configure. It's easier just to plug in a USB sound card and have two
sound cards, one for DVK, one for contest recording.<BR><SPAN
