Has anyone else tried interfacing their PC for Data Modes via the rear Optional Vox Mic input on a President McKinley II, President Grant II or President Jackson II?
I have mine setup with a Signalink USB via the 6-pin mic jack and Rear Speaker (Self-made interface cable) currently, but its an expensive solution for something that I think should be as simple as feeding audio into the rear Vox Mic jack and setting the radio to use VOX..... Anyone?
The Plan....
Perhaps I am just missing something here
Thanks in advance

I stumbled upon a video.
.. and a microphone: https://solutioncb.com/boutique/en/pres ... isor-p227/
Seems like they use a mono plug.

Thanks for that matie... I have ordered a new Soundcard as I think the one I have had in the junk drawer for 10 years has seen better days. See if I get any better luck from there.
I bought a mono 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable to interface with. Fingers crossed.

Use a cheap external USB sound card straight into the lap top as long as the pc levels are ok you should up an running, I use the same Vox method and its working fin.

New sound card already ordered, along with some other bits to protect the radio from harm
