Thanks for the help. I bought an interface from PIEXX, installed it, and it
works. Right now, it is used for my logging program. I'm awaiting mail order
parts to use the keyboard to produce cw (and rtty I think.)

I've been out of the building and technical loop for years. (Just been
operating.) So the questions I've been asking might be considered dumb. So
I'm relearning, researching, reading etc. and planning projects. The marriage
of the pc and radio is another level I've got to familiarize myself with.

So far retirement is great :-)

73,
